Checkpoint Charlie

At Checkpoint Charlie, it's all about the city of Derry - various souvenirs, quirky and artisan items, gifts and other memorabilia. Collectors may even get their passport stamped with a stamp of "Free Derry" to keep as memory of the visit - simply ask the owner.

Shopping

Derry is an important commercial centre for the surrounding area, with something to suit every taste and every pocket, all within a small and accessible downtown. Foyleside Shopping Centre and Richmond Center are two larger shopping locations in the city, which is dotted with smaller stores and boutiques throughout. High-quality crafts and souvenirs can be found in the unique craft village, just off Shipquay Street. London Street, beside St. Columb’s Cathedral, is where most antiques and curios shops can be found. For food lovers, the Continental Market takes place on the first Saturday of every month on Foyle Street Square.
