A Balham resident had a "little surprise" when they uncovered a live grenade while gardening.
The device was found yesterday by a resident in Alderbrook Road, Balham.
Wandsworth Metropolitan Police tweeted an image of the explosive, writing: "Yesterday #TeamD dealt with this little surprise found on Alderbrook Rd, SW12. It was still live but safely removed."
The police had the device removed so it could be detonated safely.
