Well, you should be able to order magazines of your choice from a good 
newsagents.  But I really can't advise on which newsagents to ask.

As far as the IEEE magazines are concerned, there are quite a few 
categories.  For browsing, it must be possible to use the University 
libraries.  If you are not a student or researcher there, I think there 
might be copyright issues over photocopying anything of interest.

I don't think the IEEE publications are on public sale so you will 
probably not be able to order those through a newsagent.

If you know the volumes of the articles you want, you might be able to 
order copies of the paper from the IEEE but I am not sure on this.  If 
you know the authors of the paper and the establishments they work in 
you might be able to write to them and ask for a copy of the paper.
