Suhaib Majeed was convicted of conspiracy to murder and preparation of terrorist acts following a trial in the British capital.
His friend, Tarik Hassane, pleaded guilty to the same charges last month.
Majeed had got hold of a gun and ammunition and was discussing buying a moped when police arrested him, the court heard.
He had identified a police station and an army reserve barracks in west London as possible targets on the internet, prosecutors said.
Commander Dean Haydon, head of the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism command, told reporters officers suspected Hassane ‘was communicating with people in Syria’.
‘There is every possibility that he was in Syria but I can't confirm that,’ he added.
