How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to Shangri-La The Shard, your driver meets you in arrivals at Stansted Airport with a name board, flight tracked, 60 minutes of waiting included. 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.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Stansted Airport, and a car at the door at Shangri-La The Shard — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Flight tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
