It is whatever comes first, if 7,500 miles comes first you get the next due service done, if 6 months comes first you get the next due service done. So I'm afraid it's the expensive one for you if you want to maintain your FSH.

Since you have a low miler and live in London, you may do a lot of short trip urban driving. If so this is actually pretty harsh on the engine and is considered as driving under "severe conditions" same as towing a load, driving in extreme cold or driving in a very salty environment. As such you should definately not skimp on servicing. IIRC the handbook says you should actually have more frequent oil changes.
