London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Police Commissioner Cressida Dick have toured the site of the London Bridge attack and praised the quick police work that they said prevented further deaths.
Dick said today the attack was "ghastly" but that Londoners are pulling together and refusing to be cowed by terrorists.
She said providing more firearms for London police would not be a sound solution to the increased tempo of terrorist attacks, saying the strategy of heavily armed, highly mobile specialty teams is effective.
The mayor and the commissioner were briefly heckled by a man who called for more police to be put on the streets.
