On March 17, police were called to a property on the Aylesbury Estate, SE17, to Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, 53, unresponsive.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Simon Levey, of Beaufoy Road in Tottenham, was charged on Thursday (November 20) with murdering her.
The 40-year-old will appear via video-link at Westminster Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (November 25).
A police investigation was launched following a post-mortem examination, which was unable to determine the cause of death.
Levy was arrested on April 1 on suspicion of murder after Carmenza’s death, but released under investigation while tests continued.
He was re-arrested on September 4 in connection with her death.
A trial date has been set for June 2026 at the Old Bailey.
