Police were called to the hospital at around 2pm on Monday, 06 March following a call from staff who said that a couple had attempted to gain access to a ward.
It is understood hospital staff checked the information provided by the couple and were allegedly shown an image of a premature baby in an incubator, which the couple claimed was theirs. However, the information did not match hospital records, leading staff to call the police.
A man, aged 31, and a 25-year-old were subsequently arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit child abduction.
They were taken to a police station in central London and have since been bailed to a date in mid-April.
Inspector Paul Clarke said: "The actions of the staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital in making all of the necessary checks and the quick response of police in arresting a couple prevented what could have been a very frightening and harrowing incident."
A spokeswoman for Great Ormond Street Hospital said: "Thankfully, this type of incident is exceptionally rare. We are pleased that staff at the hospital acted so swiftly and calmly to ensure the safety of all our patients."
Enquires into the incident are continuing.
