The film, which is inspired by true events, is an epic story of survival on the American frontier.
DiCaprio plays explorer Hugh Glass who is mauled by a bear and left for dead by his own hunting team.
He then begins a 200-mile trek through brutal terrain on the trail of the man who betrayed him, John Fitzgerald, played by Tom Hardy.
It is the second time DiCaprio and Hardy have co-starred in a film, after 2010's Inception.
DiCaprio paid tribute to the British actor, who will also be at the premiere, during his Golden Globes acceptance speech on Sunday.
"I know he would never bury me alone and leave me out in the cold like that," he said.
The last time Hardy walked the red carpet in London he caused a furore when he brought his dog Woody with him.
It is not known if his pet will be accompanying him this time.
Others confirmed to attend include stars Domhnall Gleeson and Will Poulter, and director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
The premiere will take place just a few hours after the Oscar nominations are announced, with the film - and its star DiCaprio - widely expected to pick up nods in several categories.
DiCaprio has never won an Oscar before despite four nominations, but he will be hoping this is finally his year.
The film has already won three Golden Globes, and is nominated for BAFTA Film Awards in eight categories - including best actor, where DiCaprio will face competition from Eddie Redmayne, Michael Fassbender, Matt Damon and Bryan Cranston.
