How it works
Travelling to Shangri-La The Shard, your driver meets you on the concourse at St Pancras International with a name board, your train tracked. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: the hotel’s own entrance sits on St Thomas Street, separate from the Shard’s office lobby — your chauffeur waits there, not in the London Bridge drop-off scrum.
Between the Shangri-La The Shard lobby and the concourse, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
A named chauffeur with your board at St Pancras International, and a car at the door at Shangri-La The Shard — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Our drivers know the London Bridge approach and the St Pancras International pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
