Whereabouts in the south east? Universities are pretty good if you can 
make a few contacts there (although the good old stuff is pretty much 
drying up now). With a bit of googling you'll probably find a freecycle 
list close to you too - I've seen things crop up there before.

Unfortunately the UK doesn't seem to have the equivalent of US 
salvage/surplus places :-(
