Nakash Malik, 13, Aayat Malik, 11, and Muhammad Hanan Malik, 7, died as a result of the blaze on Napier Road earlier this month.
Their parents, Khurram Malik and Naumana Gul Khan, said of their children: “Your lives were a blessing, your memory a treasure.
"You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
"May you rest in peace in God's heaven.”
Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters were called to the blaze on in Napier Road, which damaged the ground floor and half of the first floor of the terraced house.
Other family members were inured in the blaze with five in total taken to hospital.
Officers continue to investigate the cause of the fire alongside London Fire Brigade colleagues.
At this stage, there is no evidence to indicate suspicious circumstances.
Enquiries are ongoing.
