Wind was 210/7 onto 26L at LGW. No oscilation observed on the glide or loc. Everything steady passing through 100' with the a/c configured fully before 1500 agl and stable way before all sop criteria.

I was close to disconnecting and recovering the thing myself. Instead.. Took the standard banter from the cabin crew and asked my fo "huh?". Thought afterwards it's better we discover any problems in cavok than our coleagues do in 200m.

Can't understand how a solid, stable approach could be messed up so much by lack of LVPs (only conclusion I've come to).
