In reality, especially if you are flying on a single (through) ticket, the formalities are quite simple.
You are advised to print out your flight tickets and to have a printout with you. This is all you need beside your valid passport. Also, you will declare at check-in in London that you will travel to Tokyo via Shanghai using 24 hour visa free transit. After a short inspection of your ticket, you will get your boarding passes and be allowed to board the plane.
Before your landing in Shanghai, you will fill out arrival/departure card, but you should not be bothered too much with those portions that you simply cannot answer, just leave them blank, also under the "Intended address in China" you will just write - transit. This will take you some 10 minutes and this is really nothing special.
Upon your landing, you will just follow the signs transit/transfer and you can expect that you will cross the security check and also the shortened form of immigration (passport control) that is mostly used for the check of passengers whether they fulfill the visa requirements for the country where they travel immediately after their landing in China. Beside the mentioned, you will just proceed to your gate and wait for your flight to Tokyo.
