Best London airport for getting to Stratford? Urgent thanks.

My OH's brother in London has had a turn for the worst. He lives in Stratford. We need to get there tomorrow from Dublin.

Could someone PLEASE advise which is the best airport to use? Gatwick, Stansted, London City, or Heathrow?

I suppose we are in a bit of a panic here. Thanks. I may have more questions if anyone can help.

    London City Airport is very close to Stratford. Just a few stops on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR). According to the Transport for London (TFL) website It takes about 15 mins

    Thanks, going Stansted. The Stansted express train goes to Stratford after a change at Tottenham Hale.

    Worry about return later.

    Poor man only moved to Stratford a couple of months ago, lived Sth Wimbledon before, so we always went Heathrow/Paddington/S. Wimbledon and could do it with eyes closed.

    Thanks. As you can see we got Stansted for tomorrow. Will have a look at LCY for the return though.
