Another suspect, Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, 32, was charged with conspiracy to murder and explosives offences.
He's being held in connection with explosives found in a knapsack in a west London park several days after the botched bombings.
Some British newspapers have dubbed him the "Fifth Bomber" amid accusations that he took part in the failed July 21 attack.
Two other men, Siraj Yassin Abdullah Ali, 30, and Wharbi Mohammed, 22, were charged with helping a suspect evade arrest.
Six other people have been charged earlier with failing to disclose information about a suspect in the July 21 attacks.
