Police were called at around 10am on Tuesday to reports of a stabbing at a residential property in Neeld Crescent, Wembley.
A 27-year-old woman died at the scene. Her next of kin are yet to be informed.
A 23-year-old man, who officers previously named publicly, was located in Harrow at around 6pm on the same day.
He was arrested on suspicion of murder and taken into custody at a north London police station.
A second woman, aged 28, was taken to hospital with stab injuries that were later assessed as not life-threatening.
Two people, a 24-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder.
Detective Chief Inspector Linda Bradley, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “This has been a fast-moving investigation and I would like to thank the public for sharing our appeal for information about this man. He is now in custody.
“I recognise the significant concern this incident has caused in the community and I would like to reassure the public that a dedicated team of detectives are working to establish what happened.
