Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said police have made “significant” arrests and “finds” and have got hold of a “large part of the network” being sought over the atrocity.
Mr Rowley said: “They are very significant, these arrests.
“We are very happy we’ve got our hands around some of the key players that we are concerned about but there’s still a little bit more to do.”
Mr Rowley said that police have reviewed security at more than 1,300 events around the country ahead of the bank holiday weekend.
Britain remains at the highest threat level of critical, meaning an attack could be imminent.
The senior officer issued a message of reassurance to the public.
He said: ”Go out as you planned. Enjoy yourselves and be reassured by the greater policing presence you will see.
“We can’t let the terrorists win by dissuading us from going about our normal business.”
