Both piles of mags are free to a good home. No way am I going to fuck about parcelling these up, so it's buyer collect. I'm in S66.
Let me know how you get on. I have a quantity of old Wireless World
magazines covering several decades, and would make the same offer to
anyone willing to travel to L23, except I think I'd be very lucky to
get a response. I don't think so many people want physical copies of magazines these days as almost anything can be found online.
It probably isn't even worth the cost of advertising this sort of
thing properly as I'd just be throwing the money away, so I might as
well just throw the magazines away. Maybe one day I will.

I've got a complete set of "Elektor" in the loft. It's from 1974/5 to
about 2014. Most have been available on WorldRadioHistory.com (was AmericanRadioHistory I believe) for years. I was going to offer them the missing editions to scan, but they have had to remove all the Elektors,
as the publisher now offers a paid-for service for old articles. It
would be a breach of copyright to continue to make them available

I guess I'll just have to dump them.

There are copies of Wireless World online somewhere, you could check
whether they have a complete set of that magazine and others as they
might like to fill the gaps.
Sub Brit put all back copies online but were missing some editions so
put out an appeal for the missing copies (I sent a few that they did not have).
Does the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford have an archive?
Would they be interested?
Does the British Library have copies of the magazines?

My understanding is that the BL have copies of everything ever published
in the UK,

The BL appear to have some copies. I'll email them to see if they want
mine.
Thanks for the suggestion.
They'd like to have everything published but there are gaps,
especially in 19th Century and earlier titles. (And there are some
annoying gaps in runs of titles being scanned by the British
Newspaper Archive, which appears to be being carried out without any strategic thinking at all.)
