The Lord High Constable of England

When the building originally opened, it stored cargo for the busy port, and that industrial heritage remains tangible as you walk through the door today. The pub's name draws from an ancient and significant position in English monarchy, which adds historical depth to what might otherwise be just another waterside venue.

You'll find a reliable mix of locals and visitors throughout the day, with a decent food offering and a good selection of real ales. The location is genuinely central to the Docks area, putting you within easy reach of the National Waterways Museum, outlet shopping, and the historic quays themselves. It's the kind of place where you naturally end up meeting people or using it as a comfortable base for exploring.

A short walk uphill leads into Gloucester city centre, where the Cathedral dominates the skyline. This makes the pub work well if you're planning a day that combines history, shopping, and eating. Whether you're stopping for a drink between activities or settling in for a proper meal, it's positioned conveniently enough that it slots into most itineraries around the Docks without feeling forced.
