'Loud music'
Elsewhere, an illegal rave involving more than 150 people was shut down by police in Archway, north London.
Residents reported a large police presence and disturbances in Tavistock Terrace in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Ch Supt Roy Smith, of the Met Police, tweeted: "Officers were out this evening closing down illegal and antisocial parties playing loud music into the early hours.
"Packed groups of 150+ people risking the spread of Covid-19 and keeping poor families with young children awake at 3am."
A closure order was also issued to one property in the street as officers dispersed the crowds.
A closure notice prohibits access to the premises for the period specified in the notice.
