I'm heading to the Westminster area of London next week and I have the
option of flying into either Stanstead or Luton. Which airport has the
better rail links to this part of London? By "better" I mean easier/faster
and/or cheaper.

TIA.

District line to Victoria, train to Gatwick.

Gatwick would be the quickest from Fulham - District Line to Victoria,
then direct train (get the Southern service, not the Gatwick Express,
which is far more expensive).

Luton would be slower because of the "blockade" on the Thameslink
service, so you would have to change at Earl's Court or South Kensington
to the Piccadilly Line, and then again at King's Cross.

Or even get the direct Southern service from West Brompton.

I had totally forgotten that one! Shows how long it is since I used
that area regularly. But direct trains are only about once an hour,
otherwise it is changing at Clapham Junction. Which may or may not be a
problem for the OP, depending on how much luggage he or she has.

If you get the time right, changing at West Brompton onto the Watford
Junction-Brighton service would be a lot quicker. Cross-platform
change only, It only runs once an hour at xx.39, Doesn't run on
Sundays, though.
