A police spokesperson said: “At this early stage of the investigation it is understood that all parties have taken drugs.
“At this stage we don’t believe any persons were known to each other.”
No arrests have been made.
Superintendent Simon Crick, in charge of policing for Enfield and Haringey, said: “There is no safe way of taking illegal drugs, however the incidents overnight have caused us particular concern. We urge anyone who bought drugs in or around the nightclub to dispose of these substances as soon as possible.
“An investigation is continuing to establish where these drugs have come from and I encourage anyone with information to contact police.
“If anyone has taken an illegal substance and becomes unwell then they should seek immediate medical advice.”
Police are urging anyone with information about the drugs or drugs supply to report it by calling 101 quoting CAD 877/31Jul.
