We give a characterisation of Bishop locally compact metric spaces in terms of formal topology. We identify inhabited enumerably locally compact regular formal topologies as point-free counterpart of Bishop locally compact metric spaces. Specifically, we show that a formal topology is isomorphic to an inhabited enumerably locally compact regular formal topology if and only if it is isomorphic to the localic completion of a Bishop locally compact metric space. The result is obtained in Bishop constructive mathematics with the Dependent Choice.
