Five people were taken to hospital, all of whom have since been discharged.
Before the spray was used, two women were robbed of their suitcases after they got out of the car park lift, police said.
The men who robbed them sprayed what is believed to be pepper spray, which then affected others nearby.
A spokesperson for the Met Police said: "An investigation was launched which has established that, prior to the assault, two women were robbed of their suitcases after getting out of the car park lift.
"During the robbery, the men sprayed a substance, believed to be pepper spray in the direction of the women. This substance affected those in the vicinity, causing minor injuries."
