I'm quite sure they chose Stansted as it was the best available that had any slots. If they could get in to Heathrow they would leave tomorrow (as would just about every trunk carrier at Gatwick as well). Proximity to offices isn't everything.
We live close to LCY and within sight of Canary Wharf. Here are typical travel times I allow :
LCY : 5 minutes (local roads)
STN ; 35 minutes (M11), 32 miles
LHR : 1 hour 20 mins (through central London), 27 miles
LGW : 1 hour 20 mins (A13, Dartford bridge, M25), 48 miles
LUT : 1 hour 30 mins (M11, M25, M1), 51 miles
(Distances from Autoroute, times from experience)
It's a shame Ryanair haven't thought about using North Weald
