10 Gift & Specialty Shops in Derry That You Shouldn't Miss
Derry (/ˈdɛri/), officially Londonderry (/ˈlʌndənˌdɛri/), is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland and the fourth-largest city on the island of Ireland. The name Derry is an anglicisation of the Old Irish name Daire (modern Irish: Doire) meaning "oak grove". In 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the "London" prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. While the city is more usually known colloquially as Derry, Londonderry is also commonly used and remains the legal name.

Went into this small shop during my visit to Derry. I found this shop absolutely fantastic and it certainly has a great variety of Derry and Irish themed gifts and souvenirs on sale which reflect on the troubled past that the city was historically known for and how it’s shaped the city as it is today. The lady that was working in the shop was an absolute joy to chat with, she was very interested in my reasons for visiting the city and spoke of her own experiences during the troubles and spoke a little on the history of Derry too. If you’re in Derry then Checkpoint Charlie is certainly worth a visit.
