They feature on "wanted" posters being displayed on the side of police vans being driven across London in a bid for public help in finding them by the end of the year.
"We're asking the public to help locate those we need to speak to in connection with offences," the head of the Met's crime taskforce Det Chief Supt Lee Hill said.
"We get asked by the public how they can help—they can give us the information which is useful to prevent and detect crime which directly helps the community."
Those on the list being searched for might be suspects or have breached bail or probation conditions—or just not turned up for court, Scotland Yard stresses.

"Some people worry that somehow they might be identified for passing on information. But giving details to Crimestoppers which is entirely independent from us is completely anonymous."
The Met has begun enforcement operations in the run-up to Christmas and the New Year to locate those on its "wanted" list with a public appeal for help to locate them.
Police have been unable to trace where any of them hang out, what car they drive, where they go regularly or even where they are living.
Anyone with information is being urged to call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800-555111 (crimestoppers-uk.org), which is not part of the police and which cannot trace an informant's identity, phone or laptop.
