He was rushed to an east London hospital but was pronounced dead just under an hour later.
Scotland Yard is working to identify of the victim and no arrests have been made.
Detective Chief Inspector Glen Lloyd, who is leading the investigation, said: “We’re in the early stages of the investigation and at this stage we are working hard to piece together the chain of events that led to a young man losing his life.
“Only days before Christmas, a life has been senselessly taken and my team will work tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice as soon as possible.
“I am appealing to anyone with information, no matter how insignificant they think it may be, to come forward and speak to police. If there is a reluctance to speak to police, you can of course contact Crimestoppers anonymously.”
Formal identification awaits and a post-mortem examination will be held in due course.
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting CAD 503/22 Dec. To remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
