The police have released a further appeal to help trace missing teenager Julia Skala.
The 16-year-old was last seen at 13:00 GMT on Monday, 8 January when she left her home in Mitcham in south-west London.
Her family have said that it is unusual for her to be away from home for this long.
The police say she was wearing a black North Face jacket, black trousers and white Nike trainers. She was carrying a black Nike rucksack.
Police officers have been carrying out extensive enquiries since she was reported missing.
Superintendent Josh Loughton said: “We use a range of tactics to trace the movements of a missing person, however despite our enquiries, we still have no indication of where she is.
“Julia has links to Lambeth, Camden and Islington. It’s likely she would have travelled by public transport. I would ask anyone who thinks they may have seen her over the past week to come forward immediately.”
Members of the public can report immediate sightings by calling 999 quoting the reference 24MIS000879.
