Hi,
You could try the Little Gym in Wandsworth...they have balance beams etc and I'm sure your little girl would find it fun. It may seem silly but play lots of games that involve balance too...walking along pavements avoid the cracks so she has to hop quickly between spaces, play hopscotch with her, even games like "Simon says" can be turned into good balance/spacial awareness practice, let her walk along low walls or fallen down tree stumps (like the ones on tooting common that kids always play on) but hold her hand if she is not confident.
The only other thing I would say is make it fun but don't make fun of her if/when she stumbles and falls (I'm not saying you do but sometimes friends/siblings may laugh and tease) as you don't want her to think there is anything wrong with her and to start to feel self conscious.
I'm sure she will be fine in her own time - even if she cant see it yet, what a lucky girl to be so tall!
Good luck!
