What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to Shangri-La The Shard, your driver meets you on the concourse at Waterloo Station 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.
Train tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Both directions, one price
Shangri-La The Shard to Waterloo Station or the reverse — the fixed fare from £47 holds either way.
Luggage handled
Between the Shangri-La The Shard lobby and the concourse, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
The fleet
Shangri-La The Shard to Waterloo Station from £47.
Six classes, one standard of care. Saloon, one way, off-peak. Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book. Once you book, the price never changes.
