BA74 emergency landing at Heathrow this morning

I saw that this flight declared an emergency before landing at Heathrow from the east i.e. over Chiswick, at 04:20 UTC. Does anyone know what caused the emergency to be declared? It appears that it came out of the emergency before arriving over Chiswick.

I had a quick look. Inbound from lagos but no reason why itwas squawking 7700 on approach to london.It can be many things but most are for medical reasons so squawk for priority approach. But as i say,can be absolutely anything

It may well have been windsheer. I was out on the A30 earlier this morning and planes were being blown around like paper darts.
