I think it's nitrous oxide for sniffing. We get piles of them in the gutter after Finsbury Park events.

These things are the latest blight on the neighbourhood. They sit alongside discarded balloons. They are all over the park and because they are shiny and metal they are enticing for small kids to pick up.

Likely to be NOx, yeah, but could also just be CO2 canisters used by cyclists and motorcyclists to quickly inflate a flat tyre.  It's a 6gram dose of some sort of gas though, that's for sure.

They’re sold as catering supplies - gas for cream whippers. But, yes, often consumed without the cream...

Yes there are piles of them all over the place, esp after a festival. I guess they must be easy to buy esp at the festivals. Think it’s still legal
