Location is one of our strengths.
We are close enough to the city centre to walk to and far away enough
not to be bothered by the function venues.

The Edward is approx' 2 miles from junction 11 and 11a of the M5; a 15 minute drive to the centre of Cheltenham, which is served by bus regularly; a 20 min drive to Tewkesbury or Stroud, and 25 - 30 mins to Cirencester and Swindon.
|

| The Edward Hotel backs onto the grounds of the Gloucester Royal Hospital. The Oxstalls University campus is a short stroll, as are the Gloucestershire Archives, and leisure centre, GL1. Gloucester Rugby Club - Kingsholm, isjust over five minutes walk as is the Irish Club. |
| |
| The Englands Glory pub is 50 metres along London Road towards the city and is the closest place for meals. |
| |
| The Edward is approx' a 500 metre stroll from Northgate St, the start of the city centre. The stroll along London Road passes some classic Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian, & Queen Anne architecture. |
| |
At the city end of London Road is a garage, chemist, newsagents, bookmakers, two restaurants and a fish and chip shop, and soon a Tesco Express. |
At the end of the road, 300m to the left are the bus & railway stations. Straight on takes you into Northgate St and the city shops begin, Sainsbury's is another 200m. |
| |
| The Northgate was once the end of the famous Roman Ermin Street, that started in Cirencester! Northgate Street was part of the medieval city and has some beaufitul Tudor buildings. It leads to Gloucester Cathedral, the Guildhall, museums, Blackfriars, the Quays, the Docks, as well as the main shops and restaurants. |
| Northgate, Southgate, Westgate, and Eastgate streets form a cross around which the medieval city was based. London Road is an extension of that cross. It has been known locally as The Cross since a large stone cross was erected here. |
| |
| Straight over The Cross leads past Tourist Information, St Mary De Crypt, Raikes House Greyfriars and Blackfriars towards Gloucester Docks and Gloucester Quays. |
| |
| Left at The Cross leads to Gloucester Guildhall, Gloucester Art Gallery and Museum, and some Roman remains. |
| |
| Right at The Cross leads to GloucesterCathedral Gloucester Folk Museum, the historic buildings of the Westgate quarter, and the River Severn. |
| |
| The Edward is ideal for a number of business sites: Gloucester Business Park, Barnwood, GCHQ, RAF Innsworth, Eastern Avenue, Royal Hospital, Gloucester Quays and Oxstalls campus. |
