For guests arriving at Shangri-La The Shard, the trip in from the airport is exactly where a fixed-fare, pre-booked transfer earns its place. The hotel occupies floors 34 to 52 of The Shard at 31 St Thomas Street, London SE1 9QU — the highest hotel in Western Europe, directly above London Bridge station in Southwark on the south bank of the Thames, nearest station London Bridge. Whichever London airport you fly into, a RushXO transfer takes the whole problem off your hands: met in arrivals after a tracked flight, driven directly to the St Thomas Street entrance, with every toll already built into a price locked at the moment you book. No queue with luggage, no slow connection across town, no surge-priced app after a long-haul flight.

The hotel is at 31 St Thomas Street, London SE1 9QU, on floors 34–52 of The Shard, nearest station London Bridge. We deliver you door-to-door to the St Thomas Street entrance — and run the return to any airport on the same fixed-fare basis.
We take you to the precise entrance on St Thomas Street, at the foot of The Shard beside London Bridge station. Your driver knows the approach and helps with luggage at the door.
London Bridge is a busy transport hub with one-way systems and event closures, so a door-to-door drop-off by a driver who knows the St Thomas Street approach is the easiest way to arrive — especially after a long-haul flight. Give us the full details at booking and we plan the approach around it.
We run the return leg to any London airport on the same fixed-fare basis, collecting you from the hotel at the time you need and tracking your departure so you arrive in good time.
Book both legs together and we hold your driver details for the return.

Driving route & distance from every airport to The Shard
Maps © OpenStreetMap contributors (open licence). Coordinates are indicative — your driver confirms the exact pickup and drop-off at booking.
Every detail — from the meet-and-greet at the airport to the handover at The Shard — is handled by a professional, route-experienced chauffeur.
The price you see is the price you pay. All tolls, parking and waiting time are built into the quote — agreed at booking and never altered, whatever the traffic does.
We monitor your flight at every airport and time the collection to your actual landing, with free arrival wait so delays and customs queues never change your fare.
Every driver is TfL Private Hire licensed, enhanced-DBS checked, and knows the route inside out. Suited, courteous and discreet.
Pre-dawn departures, late-night arrivals, last-minute bookings — dispatch runs around the clock. A 4am run costs the same fixed fare as a midday one.
Saloons, executive Mercedes and BMW, six-seat MPVs and 8–9-seat minibuses — valeted before every job, with bottled water and phone chargers.
Collected at the airport and delivered to the exact entrance — with help loading the luggage and a vehicle sized to your party and bags.

Shangri-La The Shard, at 31 St Thomas Street, London SE1 9QU, occupies floors 34 to 52 of The Shard — the tallest building in the United Kingdom and the highest hotel in Western Europe, with floor-to-ceiling views across the whole city and an iconic infinity-edge sky pool. It sits directly above London Bridge station in Southwark, on the south bank of the Thames near Borough Market and the riverside. The nearest station is London Bridge. London Bridge is a busy transport hub with one-way systems and event closures, so a door-to-door drop-off by a driver who knows the St Thomas Street approach is the easiest way to arrive — especially after a long-haul flight. We take you to the precise entrance, with help loading luggage at both ends.
Whether you are arriving for the skyline views, a riverside break or business in the City and Southwark, the journey is far simpler in one vehicle than split across cars or managed by train with its changes and escalators. A single RushXO saloon, executive car or MPV carries your whole party and luggage door-to-door for one fixed fare, frequently calmer and easier than the equivalent rail connections. Child seats and boosters are provided free on request.
A pre-booked RushXO transfer is named and identifiable to you in advance: your driver holds an enhanced DBS check as a condition of their TfL Private Hire licence and operates a fully insured, logged vehicle. You receive the driver's name, number, and the vehicle's make, model and registration before pickup. A female chauffeur can be requested for lone or late-night travellers.
RushXO Ltd is a Dartford-based private hire operator licensed by Transport for London, registered at Companies House under number 16464640, and with the ICO under reference ZC112187. Every driver holds a current TfL Private Hire Driver licence, requiring an enhanced DBS check, a medical assessment and topographical and English-language testing. We hold a 4.9-star rating from 4,850 verified patrons, and our model rests on one promise: the fixed fare quoted at booking is the fare you pay, every time. Learn more at www.rushxo.com.
