A London Fire Brigade statement read: "Firefighters investigated and found a small cooking fire that had burnt itself out before the brigade arrived.
"One woman was treated at the scene by London Ambulance Service crews. Sadly, she died the following day."
No more details about the woman have yet been released.
Two fire engines and 10 firefighters attended the scene after being called just before 10.45pm.
