Wanstead Magazine Club, which aims to share and giveaway interesting magazines among the reading classes of Wanstead, has had what they call in certain circles a “re-up“. Fresh stocks are now available in the Larder, and also for the first time in a new venue, the beautifully renovated Wanstead Barber Shop.
This is a not-for profit scheme, naturally. You are welcome to take any of the magazines away with you if you feel they’re interesting enough. And if you’d like to take part in the scheme by donating interesting reads to your fellows, then please do. If you would like some stickers to put on your magazines, email us at wansteadium@gmail.com.
We think it’s a rather civilised idea, and it was nice to have the endorsement of former Guardian journalist Paul Nettleton recently
Local website wansteadium promoting better choice of magazines to read in public spaces. Brilliant idea for #wanstead bit.ly/14Kkfaa

And incidentally, in case anyone is wondering, we have found Bennett’s newsagents on Wanstead High Street and Cafe Voyage at Snaresbrook station to be excellent places to buy new magazines (though of course other stockists are available).
Thanks for your kind words regarding my shop ( the Wanstead barber shop ) great idea and system of magazine recycle !! I’m sure customers will love it !!!
