Brent Police stormed the den in Alric Avenue, where they found drugs paraphernalia including lighters, tubes and foil in a scene akin to the hit American TV show.
The drama series focuses on a terminally-ill chemistry teacher who makes Chrystal Meth to pay for vital medication.
The arrested man was taken to a police station where he was found to be in possession of two small bags containing tiny shards of crystal meth stashed in his socks.
A number of people also arrested at the address were later released without charge.
Detective Sergeant Stuart McKechnie, who co-ordinated the raid said: “This kind drug is uncommon in Brent but we want to crack down on it as soon as possible.
