Among them was the widow of London bombing ringleader Mohammed Sidique Khan and her brother.
Hasina Patel, 29, and her brother Arshad, Khalid Khaliq and Imran Motala were all held in a series of anti-terror raids on Wednesday.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Officers from the Metropolitan Police Service counter terrorism unit were granted warrants of further detention for four people arrested on May 9 in connection with the terrorist attacks on July 7, 2005.
"The warrants allowed the four to be detained until Wednesday, May 16." Unarmed police made the arrests after swooping on addresses across West Yorkshire and the West Midlands early on Wednesday.
Two of the men, aged 30 and 34, were arrested in Batley and Leeds, while the third man, aged 22, was arrested in the Selly Oak area of Birmingham.
All four, held on suspicion of the commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism, were taken to the high security Paddington Green police station in London for questioning.
Properties in Dewsbury, Batley, Beeston in south Leeds, and Birmingham were meanwhile cordoned off for forensic investigation.
The raids were led by the Metropolitan Police counter terrorism unit, with support from West Midlands and West Yorkshire Police.
London was thrown into chaos two years ago when four suicide bombers exploded devices in three packed rush hour London Underground Tube trains and a crowded bus. The perpetrators - ringleader Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Jermaine Lindsay and Hasib Hussain - all died.
