Police scrambled to a residential address at Gable Lodge on Mowbray Road after reports of an attack on Tuesday, 20 December.
Andre Foster, 44, was found with stab wounds at the scene. Despite the best efforts of medics, he was later pronounced dead.
A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a stab wound to the neck.
A 29-year-old man was arrested and taken into police custody at an address in Nottingham on Friday in connection with the murder.
He will be transferred to a London police station on Saturday.
Detective Chief Inspector Linda Bradley, who is leading the investigation, said:“This arrest is a significant development in this investigation as we continue to strive to give Andre’s family and friends the answers they need.
“However, I would still appeal to anyone who was in the vicinity of Gable Lodge that evening, or who has information that could assist our investigation to get in touch.
“An online portal for the submission of photos, videos and information has been set up and we would ask anyone with such material to use this facility.”
