A man's body washed up on the banks of the river Thames in Greenwich yesterday (May 22).
Police say they are treating the death as unexplained.
Paramedics joined officers from MPS Lewisham and the Met's Marine Policing Unit after the discovery on the river banks, just past the University of Greenwich.
A spokesman for the Met Police said officers were called to Banning Street, at 7am on May 22 to "reports of a body washed up on the banks of The River Thames".
He said: "A body of a man was recovered by officers."
Today Sergeant Diane Hill, who works in Greenwich town centre, said officers were trying to identify the body found yesterday.
She said on Twitter: "Difficult job but important to get it right for family."
