Police were scrambled to early morning reports of "shots fired" in a residential road.
A call was made just after 2am yesterday, urging officers to come to Hatch Lane, in Chingford, after "gunshots" were heard.
A police cordon was in place throughout the following morning as officers searched the area for evidence of firearm activity.
Scotland Yard said there were no reported injuries and enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing.
If you have any information, call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
