Shangri-La The Shard occupies floors 34 to 52 of Renzo Piano's iconic 310-metre glass spire at London Bridge SE1 — one of Europe's tallest buildings and London's most distinctive architectural landmark. The hotel's position on the South Bank places it at the precise boundary between the City of London and the South Bank's cultural district, with views that extend across the entire London skyline from the hotel's GONG bar and infinity pool. Luxelimo provides professional chauffeur service for Shangri-La The Shard guests from the London Bridge address.

The Shard's London Bridge SE1 location has a distinctive airport geography that differs from most central London hotels. Gatwick Airport, the second-busiest in the UK, is approximately 35-45 minutes to the south via the A23/M23 — making Shangri-La The Shard one of the best-placed central London hotels for Gatwick access. This is particularly valuable for guests flying intercontinental services from Gatwick, or arriving from the Gatwick Express catchment area. London City Airport, serving European business routes, is approximately 25-35 minutes east via the A13.

The Shard's City adjacency is equally significant for corporate guests. The Bank of England, Lloyd's of London, the Royal Exchange, and the major investment bank headquarters are all within a 5-10 minute drive from the hotel's St Thomas Street entrance. The City is the hotel's most immediate business catchment, and Luxelimo provides coordinated City meeting day hire for Shard-based executives with as-directed drivers throughout the working day.

"Richard drove our group for a day trip to the Cotswolds. We had a great time! He was timely, patient, and took us everywhere we wanted to go. He was flexible when we wanted to change our itinerary. The Mercedes Sprinter van was clean, comfortable and really nice. We highly recommend them — we will use Luxe Limo again next time we are in London."
