The GP practice in question is Ritchie Street Health Centre in Islington.
People are being told to avoid the practice even if they think they might have the deadly virus.
“Any patients that have the symptoms should call 111 and not come to the practice,” a spokesperson said.
The surgery is close to the Business Design Centre and Angel London Underground station.
