Parking at The Shard in Borough

The site has 48 parking spaces, reserved for office workers and guests of the Shangri-La hotel (buildingcentre.co.uk). The hotel’s parking facilities are paid and available 24 hours (shangri-la.com), making this an access-controlled option rather than a general visitor car park. The address is 31 St. Thomas Street, Borough, London, SE1 9BS.

For general parking, Q-Park Tower Bridge is the recommended nearby facility, described by Q-Park as safe and secure and a short walk from The Shard (q-park.co.uk). NCP London Bridge is another practical choice for visitors heading to the building and Borough Market. Its published pay-on-the-day rate is £7 for one hour (ncp.co.uk).

Busy Times and Street Parking Around The Shard

NCP lists London Bridge car park as open 24 hours daily from Monday to Sunday (ncp.co.uk), which suits early starts, late finishes and evening visits without relying on a limited daytime opening window.

The surrounding roads are central London streets serving a busy commercial and transport district, so parking directly outside 31 St. Thomas Street is not a dependable plan. The building’s own 48 spaces are reserved for office workers and Shangri-La guests (buildingcentre.co.uk), while the paid hotel facility operates at the same address (shangri-la.com). Use a designated car park for a planned stay rather than treating nearby kerb space as an alternative.

Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of The Shard

Parksy lists a covered space on Tooley Street, 167 yards away, at £12 a day. A covered space in Bermondsey, SE1 2FB, is 306 yards away and costs £125 a month. These are close options for drivers who want a reserved space rather than a large public car park.

Four further Parksy listings sit 0.2 to 0.3 miles from the site. The Southwark, London Bridge and Monmouth options are 0.2 miles away; the EC4R 3AE space is 0.3 miles away.

Other Named Car Parks Near The Shard

Q-Park Tower Bridge is the main named alternative highlighted for visitors, with Q-Park describing it as a secure car park a short walk from The Shard (q-park.co.uk). Its location makes it useful when the building’s restricted spaces are unavailable, while still keeping the final journey on foot relatively short.

NCP London Bridge is another named car park serving the area, with easy access to The Shard and Borough Market (ncp.co.uk). NCP states that the facility operates 24 hours daily from Monday to Sunday and publishes a pay-on-the-day charge of £7 for one hour (ncp.co.uk). The Circle’s secure underground car park is also marketed for visits to The Shard, with rates of £14.59 for three hours and £21.99 for five hours (towerbridgeparking.com).

Stations and Walking Routes to The Shard

Borough tube station is the nearest listed station, 0.4 miles away and an eight-minute walk from the building. The route leads towards 31 St. Thomas Street in Borough, near Monument, and avoids the need to find a space immediately beside the entrance.

Monument is approximately a nine-minute walk away, while Cannon Street station is approximately ten minutes on foot. These stations provide useful alternatives when a journey by car would involve central London traffic and a separate search for parking. The Shard stands at 31 St. Thomas Street, SE1 9BS, so drivers using a Parksy space or a named car park can finish the trip on foot from the surrounding station and riverside area.
