Default Gloucester pronunciation

Could someone type how to pronounce Gloucester?
Recently spent a week in London and that was my tube stop.
Never understood how to pronounce it.

Not to be confused with Worcestershire, where they make the sauce

Had an Antipodean ask me directions for the train to Lugga-burra once.

Pointed him in the direction of Loughborough.
