British_National_Grid Projection

[outmost]

Apologies if I'm being stupid, I have a shape file in the following projection:
PROJCS["British_National_Grid",GEOGCS["GCS_OSGB_1936",DATUM["D_OSGB_1936",SPHEROID["Airy_1830",6377563.396,299.3249646]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",400000.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",-100000.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-2.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9996012717],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",49.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]

When adding this to the map, the objects are offset from their correct position by around 200m East /North-East.

I've tried digging through the code in shp, and can't work out whether the projection is automatically detected and converted, or whether I will need to manually convert or pass any options.

The projection stuff is in a different project called proj4

I think the definition might not be quite right. The one I use in Leaflet with proj4leaflet is:

'+proj=tmerc +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-2 +k=0.9996012717 +x_0=400000 +y_0=-100000 +ellps=airy +towgs84=446.448,-125.157,542.06,0.15,0.247,0.842,-20.489 +units=m +no_defs',
