Mr Bowen was found unconscious in the street by officers just after 1am and taken to a west London hospital by paramedics.
Scotland Yard said he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Mohammad Mustapha Khalid, 19 of Sir John Cass Hall, Well Street, South Hackney and Neville Marlon Bowen, 23 of Breakspears Road, Brockley, have both been charged with murder.
They will both appear before Hendon Magistrates Court today.
