Human remains are believed to have been found in woodland in Kent by officers searching for missing 33-year-old Sarah Everard, Met Police Commissioner Cressida Dick has said.
Police have not yet been able to confirm any identity, she said.
Ms Everard, 33, was last seen a week ago in Clapham, south London, on her way home from a friend's house.
A serving Met Police officer has been arrested on suspicion of her murder.
In a televised statement, Ms Dick said: "This evening detectives and search teams have found, very sadly, what appears to be human remains."The discovery was made in an area of woodland in Ashford in Kent."As you can imagine at this early stage we are not able to confirm any identity and indeed that may take us some considerable time."
Ms Everard's disappearance in "awful and wicked circumstances" was every family's nightmare, Ms Dick added.
She said Londoners should know that it was "thankfully incredibly rare" for a woman to be abducted from the capital's streets, but acknowledged that women in London and the wider public would be worried and "may be feeling scared".
She said there would continue to be increased police patrols in the area.
The commissioner added that her thoughts were with Ms Everard's family.
The news that a Met Police officer has been arrested on suspicion of Ms Everard's murder "has sent shockwaves and anger through the public and through the Met", Ms Dick said.
She added: "I speak on behalf of all my colleagues when I say that we are utterly appalled at this dreadful, dreadful news."Our job is to patrol the streets and protect people."
