Seven men, aged from their early 20s to late 30s, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. Six remain in police custody while the investigation continues.

The seventh man, in his 30s, was taken to hospital where he is currently being treated.

His condition is not believed to be life threatening, according to the Metropolitan Police.

Detective Chief Inspector Matthew Denby from the Met Police, who is leading the investigation, said: "My thoughts remain with the loved ones of the man who has died.

"We believe that the two men suffered wounds during an altercation outside a property on North Road.

"There is a large police cordon in place on North Road and surrounding streets. This is likely to remain while our enquiries continue, and I want to thank residents for their patience."

Scotland Yard also asked for anyone who was in the area at the time or who has CCTV footage of what occurred to get in touch.
