There's a lot of this, as the station is large and complex. The layout of platforms and routes between them aren't consistent, so I have to explain the likely options.
I provide internal links to each start platform and then to lift or stairs options for routes from them. Level 5 headings are used to separate routes to each platform, so it should still be easy enough to find the route you need without reading the whole story!
I'm offering routes, where possible, through the Middle Subway, as I have with the other way finding pages. This gives access to platforms 1 - 12, the London Overground, Mainline and Central Line platforms. The DLR (Stratford Branch) platforms 4A and 4B, together with the new westbound Central Line platform 3A are accessed via the Level 1 Walkway, The Jubilee Line and DLR (Stratford International Branch) platforms 13 - 16 are in the West Concourse and routes to/from these will be via the West Subway, where possible. The DLR (Stratford International Branch) southbound, platform 17 is in the East Concourse.
There is tactile paving along the edge of all platforms. Note, however that not all sets of steps have tactile paving at the top and bottom.
See the Lifts page for details of lift access through this station.
As you face the front of the train, the doors will open on your right if you arrive at Platform 1, on your left if you arrive at platform 2.
As you go from the rear of the train, you pass the lift then steps to the West Subway, two sets of seats then the lift to the Middle Subway. You pass two more sets of seats before the stairwell to the Middle Subway.
As you go from the front of the train, the first set of steps is to the Middle Subway, you pass two sets of seats before you reach the rear of the lift to the Middle Subway. You pass two more sets of seats before you reach the steps to the West Subway. The lift to the West Subway is on platform 1, beyond these steps.

One could reasonably argue that routes to platforms 1 - 10 should be via the West Subway. However, there's a non-standard lift between the West Concourse and this subway. Furthermore, the West Subway doesn't give direct access to platforms 10A - 11, though there is a route to platform 12 via platform 1.
On balance, I suggest it's easier, except for platform 16, to go up to the Level 1 Walkway and access platforms from there.

Turn right, Continue to the barrier in front of you then turn left and follow the barrier to the entrance.
There's extensive tactile paving across this entrance. There's a rail, along the platform, inside the entrance, move to either side of this. We believe you're near the rear of the train.
One could reasonably argue that routes to platforms 1 - 10 should be via the West Subway. However, there's a non-standard lift between the West Concourse and this subway. Furthermore, the West Subway doesn't give direct access to platforms 10A - 11, though there is a route to platform 12 via platform 1.
On balance, I suggest it's easier, except for the Jubilee Line, platforms 13 - 15, to go up to the Level 1 Walkway and access platforms from there.
The doors will open on your left as you face the front of the train. The exit is towards the front of the train, there's a barrier along the middle of the platform inside the exit. Leave the platform, over significant tactile paving, into the West Concourse.
Via Which Route?

To Platforms 13 - 15, Jubilee Line To Other Platforms |
Turn left.
For platform 13, move to the right-hand side of the concourse and continue forward onto the platform. Platforms 14 - 15 are an island platform to your left. Note that the rear of the train is beyond the end of the rail (platforms 13 and 15), which is some distance from the concourse.
Turn right. The following features are from left to right:
Go up to the Level 1 Walkway. Ifyou use the lift, the left-hand (west) lift has the call button to your left of the door, whilst the right-hand (east) lift has the call button on a short post to your left. In either case go up to Level 1, Walkway and leave via the other door.
If you use the steps, we understand you're supposed to keep left. Go up two flights of steps to the Level 1 Walkway.
From here, there is step-free access to the Central Line Westbound and DLR (Stratford Branch) platforms 4A and 4B. There is stairs access to platforms 3 - 5, via a short bridge, though for consistency, we'll give directions to stairs and lift access via the Middle Subway.
Turn right then take the second turning left. follow the passage, which turns right, down the slope then turn left onto the platform. We believe you're near the rear of the train.
Turn left, continue, through the normally open doors in front of you, onto the DLR (Stratford Branch) platforms 4. There's tactile paving and a definite slope up before you reach these platforms. There's an irregular barrier along the middle of this island platform, separating platform 4A (to your left) from 4B (to your right).
Turn right, continue across tracks 16 and 17. You pass the west lift, followed by the escalator (up only), the steps then the east lift to the East Concourse.
If you use the steps, we understand you're supposed to keep left, go down two flights of steps into the West Concourse.
If you use the first (west) lift, the call button is on a short post to your left of the door. If you use the second (east) lift, the call button is to your left of the door. In either case, go down to Level 0, Concourse and leave via the other door into the West Concourse.
Turn left, continue past the east lift then take the turning left into the East Subway. Follow directions from the East Subway.
