Thousands of officers will be on duty this weekend as the Met continues to support and reassure communities.
They will continue to focus relentlessly on anyone suspected of fueling violence, disorder and hate in our city.
Investigators are pursuing dozens of cases and more than 30 people have now been charged following disorder and antisocial behaviour.
As of today, 21 people have now been charged as a result of disorder in Whitehall on the evening of July 31.

They are accused of crimes including violent disorder, possessing offensive weapons, possessing Class A drugs and public order offences.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Valentine, who is leading the police operation, said: “It has been hugely heartening to see communities come together this week and it is our privilege to support them.
“Nevertheless, we won’t tolerate hate or intimidation and that is why more than 30 people have been charged with a range of offences.
“Our message is clear – anyone thinking of causing disorder and disruption will be found and will be brought to justice.
“This weekend you will see our officers in your neighbourhoods. They are there to help you and if you have any concerns please speak to them.”
