In a statement, the Met said no arrests have been made at this stage but confirmed a criminal investigation into allegations of drug-related offences involving a member of the House of Lords was under way.
A Met Police spokesman said: "A warrant under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, was today granted at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
"The warrant was executed at 18.00hrs at an address in central London by officers from the Special Enquiry Team of the Homicide and Major Crime Command (HMCC).
"No arrests have been made at this stage and enquiries are ongoing. One complaint in relation to this matter has been received. Our investigation commenced prior to this."

Lord Sewel announced that he will instead take a "leave of absence" while investigations are carried out and consider his position afterwards.
He made the decision to retain his peerage despite a suggestion by David Cameron that he should either resign or quit. Under the terms of his "leave of absence", Lord Sewel will not be able to claim any allowances and will have to give three months notice if he plans to return.
Should he decide to stay, however, he will be entitled to claim parliamentary allowances of £200 a day.
Lord Sewel said: "I wish to take leave of absence from the House as soon as it can be arranged. I also wish to make clear that in doing so I have no intention of returning to the House in any way until the current investigations have been completed, when in the light of their outcome I will review my long term position. I believe this is compatible with due process."
It came as David Cameron said there are "questions" as to whether the Labour peer is fit to sit in the Upper House despite him still being allowed to claim up to £300 a day in parliamentary allowances while any investigation is carried out.
"These are very serious allegations," the Prime Minister said.
"I think it's right he has stood down from his committee posts and I'm sure further questions will be asked about whether it is appropriate to have someone legislating and acting in the House of Lords if they have genuinely behaved in this way. It's still going to take some time I suspect to get to the full truth."
The disgraced former Deputy Speaker of the Lords has indicated this morning that
he would not quit his role as a peer despite fresh pictures emerging of him wearing a prostitute's orange bra at a sex party.
Lord Sewel, who has been suspended from the Labour party, will "tough it out" by not resigning as a peer, the BBC has reported.
But Baroness Boothroyd, pictured, has called for him to quit as a peer after bringing a "bad smell" to the House. She said: "I think the best thing that could happen now is that he should take a quit way out of the back door of the House of Lords. I feel sad for his family.
"He has been the bad apple in this barrel. We have been trying to uphold our standards. This doesn't leave us with a very good smell. He has brought the House into some disrepute."
The peer, who served as a minister under Tony Blair, will be able to continue to speak from the red benches and make full use of the House of Lords while his activities are probed.
The House of Lords authorities may face a delay of up to a year before they can use new powers to suspend or expel Lord Sewel.
The Labour MP John Mann, pictured, led calls for Lord Sewel to be thrown out of parliament after the Speaker of the Lords, Lady D’Souza, described the crossbench peer’s alleged behaviour as “shocking and unacceptable”.
But the code of conduct for the House of Lords makes clear that any investigation by the commissioner for standards in the upper house has to be suspended if a matter is being investigated by the police.

The married peer was
forced to resign on Sunday after he was caught on video apparently snorting cocaine while cavorting with two prostitutes.
Lord Brabazon of Tara, the peer's predecessor as chairman of the Privileges and Conduct committee, said he was "pretty horrified" by the allegations and called for him to quit the Lords.
He told the BBC's World at One: "If I was in his shoes I would retire from the House of Lord as of now. I think he should do exactly the same straight away."

Conservative peer Lord Cormack said: "I know and like Lord Sewel and I was just amazed and very sad."
He added: "There's not a proper scheme for peers to take early retirement if they wish to do so and, if there is substance to these stories, then perhaps that would be the best and kindest way for all concerned."
The House of Lords has had "no correspondence or indication from Lord Sewel as to his intentions", The Telegraph has learnt.

Janner supposedly to be prosecuted; protectors delaying in hopes he will die before being put in the dock, potentially exposing massive pedophile ring in parliament, royal family |
New pictures show him reclining with a cigarette whilst dressed in a bra and woman's leather jacket have been published by The Sun newspaper.
Lord Sewel of Gilcomstoun, 69, is said to have been recorded branding David Cameron "the most facile, superficial prime minister there's ever been" during the session with two £200-a-night prostitutes at his Dolphin Square flat in Westminster.
He reportedly said: "He just shoots from the hip. He is false. He makes one-off commitments and cannot deliver."
He labelled Mayor of London Boris Johnson "a joke" and a "public school upper class twit", adding: "He plays well in London because they like a cheeky chappie.

"Can you present Boris Johnson in Preston, in Burnley, in Manchester? No, they just think he's an a---hole."
Lord Sewel, who was responsible for upholding standards in the Lords, also described Scottish MP Alex Salmond as a "silly, pompous prat", according to
footage obtained by The Sun.
Asked by one of the women, whose voice is disguised, about former Labour prime minister Tony Blair's decision to go to war in Iraq, Lord Sewel said the former party leader did so "because he fell in love with George Bush".
He claimed Blair's wife, Cherie, was "obsessed with money".

The Sun also reports that Lord Sewel said the Labour leadership race was "in a f---ing mess".
He is said to have called Jeremy Corbyn "useless" and "a romantic idiot" and claimed Andy Burnham has been "terribly contradictory" and "goes whichever way the wind is blowing".
He said Yvette Cooper was "OK but not strong" and appeared to forget Liz Kendall's name, describing her as "a Blair supporter who is just too naive".
The one politician Lord Sewel did say something positive about was George Osborne, the Chancellor, who he described as a "very, very consummate politician" who would one day be prime minister.
The Lords authorities have said they will call in Scotland Yard over the footage, with sources suggesting that the peer will be asked to accept a caution.
He resigned as Deputy Speaker of the Lords on Sunday and also left his role as Chairman of Committees.

Lord Sewel was a Labour peer until resigning his party membership to take up the official role in the House of Lords and is formally known as a "non-affiliated member".
How Lord Sewel Will Be Investigated
A referral is expected to be made that would trigger an initial assessment by Lords Commissioner for Standards Paul Kernaghan to decide if there is a case to pursue.
The former police chief constable would investigate whether there has been a breach of Lords rules, which maintain that members must "always act on their personal honour", and then send the case to the Lords sub-committee on conduct.

It would decide what punishment the peer should face and, under rules that came into force on July 16, could recommend Lord Sewel is expelled from the House of Lords.
The recommendation would then go before the Lords Privileges and Conduct Committee, which Lord Sewel chaired until the scandal broke, and it would consider any appeal made by the peer.
Such a decision would need to be rubber-stamped through a formal vote in the chamber and at that point the former Scottish minister could be kicked out of Parliament.
