This That & the Other is an antique shop in Gloucester where you can spend hours moving through multiple rooms filled with stock that ranges from vintage kitchen equipment and decorative objects to substantial furniture pieces and artwork.
The real draw here is the hunt itself—you're unlikely to come in looking for something specific and leave satisfied in the way you'd expect from a conventional shop. Instead, the appeal lies in turning corners and finding unexpected treasures on shelves you hadn't noticed before. Serious collectors and casual browsers both find themselves losing track of time in here.
Gloucester itself is worth exploring while you're in the area. The city has genuine historical depth, with roots in Roman occupation, and it contains a remarkable cathedral alongside the Docks, which have undergone significant revitalisation in recent years. After an hour or two in the shop, you might walk along the waterfront or spend time looking at the city's architectural layers. While many people associate the Cotswolds with honey-coloured stone villages, Gloucester offers something quite different—it's a proper urban entry point to the region that blends real historical substance with contemporary life. This shop gives you a way to take home some physical connection to that history, or you can simply enjoy the experience of browsing. It's easy to reach within the city centre and provides useful contrast to the craft and gift shops you'll find in the smaller villages further into the Cotswolds.
