American authorities are looking for him on 18 counts, including spying.
Assange appeared before Judge Woolwich Crown, ten months after being removed from the Ecuador Embassy, where he fled for seven years.
Lawyers and supporters oppose his transfer to the US, where they say he will not face fair judgment.
The charges relate to a case in 2010 when Wikipedia has published a number of classified US Army documents.
James Lewis, a lawyer representing the United States at hearings, said that Assange has been plotting to pirate Pentagon computers and accuse him of distributing undisputed materials that have endangered the life of resources.
European Council of Human Rights Commissioner Dunja Mijatovic urged Britain not to extradite Assangen, calling for freedom of expression.
