Daniel Sonnex, 23, of Etta Street, Deptford, south-east London, appeared in court and was charged with the killing of French students Gabriel Ferez and Laurent Bonomo, both 23, on June 29 this year.
Ferez and Bonomo were tied up and repeatedly stabbed in the head, neck and torso before the bedsit was set alight. Bonomo had been stabbed 196 times and Ferez 47 times.
There was no application for bail and one of the magistrates, Yvonne Powell, told Sonnex he would be remanded in custody until he appears at the Old Bailey for a preliminary hearing on October 20.
Nigel Farmer, 33, of no fixed address, has already been charged with the murders. Both men will face trial at the Old Bailey and also face charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
A 35-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman arrested at an address in Streatham, south London, on Wednesday have been bailed to return on dates in July and August respectively, pending further inquiries.
Both Gabriel Ferez and Laurent Bonomo were nearing the end of a three-month research placement studying DNA at Imperial College London when they were murdered.
