Police were called at about 10.30am on Thursday to reports of a woman found injured at an address in Nutfield Close, Carshalton, the Metropolitan Police said.
Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene, the force added.
Police have named her as Gemma Devonish.
A 38-year-old man, who was known to Ms Devonish, was arrested in the early hours of Friday and charged with her murder on Saturday.
James Madden will appear in custody at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
