London Tenants Freecycle!
Have something at home that you don’t need? Need something but don’t have money to pay for it? Want to SAVE THE WORLD???!!! 
An organization called Freecycle brings together people who are willing to give away stuff that they don’t need, for FREE. HERE is a link for all the London Freecycler’s message groups on Yahoo. Just click on the area that is closest to you, join and post your wanted or offered ad.
For example, in Kensington and Chelsea group, there are 7597 active members at the moment. I see 202 wanted and offered messages posted in May only, which means the system must work pretty well. I’ll post The ads from today, the 10th of May, to give you a better idea:

Offered: various inc dat tape, printer ink etc (SW6)
