The Metropolitan Police has said it will use "every power, tactic and tool" to protect London against "one of the worst spates of violent disorder in the last decade".
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Valentine said the force would "not hesitate to arrest hundreds more" people if further violent disorder took place.
The disorder follows the fatal stabbing of three girls in Southport, with the subsequent unrest partly fuelled by misinformation online, the far right and anti-immigration sentiment.
Across the UK, suspects have continued to appear in court, with about 100 people charged and more than 400 arrested in connection with the disorder.
