Option	Strength	Trade‑Off
London Eye	Moving 360°, river context, gentle ride	Timed slot, dynamic pricing
The Shard	Sheer height, weatherproof	Pricey; reflective glass issues
Sky Garden	Free (book ahead), lush space	Limited slots; height less than Shard
Cable Car	Fun transit + skyline	Short ride; weather sensitive

Bottom line: choose the Eye for moving perspectives and iconic Parliament frames.
