The most Central high point in London is the London Eye or Millenium
Wheel right on the river Thames. Although it costs £17 per adult.

[url]http://www.londoneye.com/TicketsAndPrices/Flights/Default.aspx?promoType=fb[/url]

From there you could travel on a waterbus on the Thames to Greenwich which
not only has the Naval Hospital buildings but the Observatory with the
Greenwich meridian at the top of the hill and the view across London.
Plus shots on the river itself from the bus.

Parliament Hill which is part of Hampstead Heath is a recognised high point
and free.

The viewing galley at the top of the tower of Westminster Cathedral
(a 20th century Byzantine style redbrick Catholic Cathedral in Victoria not
to be confused with the Abbey) is quite high and pretty central and is
free AFAIAA and is open daily from 9.30am to 12.30pm, and from 1.00pm to 5.00pm.

Access to many other tall vantage points in Central London has been ended
for reasons of "security".

I think you should still be able to ascend St Paul's Cathedral in the City
of London. (stairs only)
Not far away is the somewhat shorter Monument (to the Great Fire of London),
near London Bridge.
Tate Modern Gallery on the South Bank opposite St Paul's has pretty good
views over the City and towards Westminster, though probably behind glass.
