Yashna, in case if you are a UK citizen and if you intend to travel from Shanghai to some third country, different than both mainland China and Hong Kong:

Hong Kong - Shanghai - X country (different than both mainland China and Hong Kong)

Then you are eligible for 144 hour visa free transit in Shanghai area. Also, you don't need any kind of visa because of your segment from Hong Kong to Shanghai. Please, keep in mind that you are not allowed to have any additional stop within mainland China of any kind to remain eligible for the mentioned visa free transit scheme.
