You missed the best local attraction - the Blackfriar pub nearly opposite! Good food and beer and - most importantly - probably unique internal architecture in London.
I'd also vote for the CP-LC purely on location grounds - an awful lot of the sights are within reasonable walking distance (I'd say all, but then I do walk a lot), and for the ones that aren't the tube is highly convenient.
