Hi, Some sections of the are along the streets, while other areas of the market are fully under cover in designated market areas, such as the Vintage Market, the Upmarket and the Backyard Market. There will be plenty to explore indoors. Enjoy your day.

Yes. The only slightly unpleasant part will be Whitechapel High Street and Altab Ali Park. The homeless on the former are mostly harmless, and there's a bit of drug dealing in the latter. The area is quite built up during the week and is also very touristy, especially in brick lane.

Only Sundays from 10am to 5pm

Jerry, I have only a general answer. Let me break your question down into three parts. Also, at least one caveat. If you want to import "non- perishable" items you must still follow any import or custom regulations. If, for example, the item you seek is never-the-less agricultural in nature you may well be prohibited from importing and be subject to substantial fines and sanctions if you attempt. 1. Which vendors at Brick Lane ship? Suggest you check out theBrick Lane site for at least a partial list of vendors and their sites, etc. 2. Which other competitors ship and do business in which markets? Check out Street Sensation to research 20 comparable markets and their vendors in central London including Spitalfields, as Nick noted. 3. What items can you purchase subject to the above caveat? I have never had any significant problem having items shipped from anywhere in the world. Most vendors have their own web sites to sell stuff and ship anywhere besides their physical presence at a market. If a vendor does not ship, you can always use an international carrier. That way, you do not have to cart the chattel around and you can still purchase and the vendor can still sell. Hope this helps.
