She was taken to hospital where her injuries, while serious, were assessed as non-life threatening.
Ioan Pintaru, 32, of no fixed address, was charged with attempted murder and possession of a bladed article.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court later this morning, the force added.
The Metropolitan Police said: “It was initially believed that the girl’s mother, a 34-year-old woman, was also hurt.
“However it was later confirmed that blood from her daughter’s injuries had been mistaken for injuries of her own.”
