Metropolitan Police officers were called to Hoxton's Cranston Estate after the victim, in his 20s, was found unresponsive shortly after 12.30pm on Sunday.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Scotland Yard said a 28-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of murder.
He is being held at an east London police station.
A Met Police spokesman added: “The victim’s next of kin have been informed.
“Formal identification and a post-mortem examination will be scheduled in due course.
“Enquiries continue to establish the full circumstances of the events.”
It came amid a weekend of violence in London.
On Saturday night a one-year-old boy was killed in an attack in a Finsbury Park flat which also left his twin sister critically injured. The children were named locally as Gabriel and Maria.
A 33-year-old man, believed to be the twins' father, was later arrested.
In a separate incident an 18-year-old man died after being shot in the head in Barking.
Scotland Yard said detectives had arrested a 20-year-old man in connection with the shooting in St Ann’s just after 7pm on Sunday.
