  • The British Bridge World was founded by Hubert Phillips in 1932 and operated until 1939. Publication name revived in 1956 edited by Terence Reese as the successor to the Contract Bridge Journal; it ceased publication in 1964 and was incorporated into Bridge Magazine in 1965.[2]
  • Bridge International, a title formerly used by Bridge Magazine.
  • Bridge Magazine,[3] a monthly, was the oldest magazine devoted to the game, having been founded in 1926 by A. E. Manning Foster. It was not published during World War II, so had fewer issues than The Bridge World. In the June 2013 issue, the editor announced that in future the magazine would only be published online because the paper version had been losing too much money. In January 2018 it relaunched as a free magazine under the title A New Bridge Magazine, with Horton remaining as the editor. It ceased publication after the February, 2020 issue.
  • Bridge Plus, a monthly magazine published between 1989 and 2008. No longer printed, it has been incorporated into Bridge Magazine.
  • Contract Bridge Journal, inaugurated in 1946 as the official publication of the English Bridge Union and published until 1955 when its rights were purchased by Thomas De La Rue & Co. and replaced by the British Bridge World from 1956 until 1964 when that publication ceased.
  • English Bridge Union Quarterly, a former title of English Bridge during the period from April 1966 to June 1984 when it was published every three months.
