It started (and ended) with a British reprint edition of Short Stories that ran from March 1920 to February 1955 (or later), absorbing, in 1954, the British reprint edition of West which had itself started in August 1926. Each just reprinted stories from the US pulps of the same name, or occasionally from other Doubleday pulps. For a brief period during 1933/34 there were even enough stories "left over" (particularly from Short Stories) to run another all reprint magazine called Cowboy Stories.
Rather more interesting was the British reprint edition of The Frontier/Frontier Stories which started in April 1925 as a direct reprint of the US pulp of the same name. By 1929, however, it began to take on a life of its own and was retitled Empire Frontier in August 1929 - still an all-reprint magazine but now drawing from a much wider range of US pulps.
Somewhat later, in April 1932, World's Work launched a British reprint edition of Doubleday's Star Magazine under the title All Star. Effectively a direct competitor of Empire Frontier, it lasted as a separate magazine for little over a year before the two merged under the title All Star Western and Empire Frontier. When the magazine(s) folded in Jun-1933 its slot was used to launch All Star Detective Stories (UK).
Possibly the most interesting was a series of anthologies, known as the Master Thriller Series, each issue of which had a separate title and featured a different genre.
Two 'one-off' magazines that have, at times, been associated with this series were Fireside Ghost Stories and Ghosts and Goblins. There was also a brief run of a magazine called Traveller's Pack which ran (true?) adventure styles in much the same style as the Master Thriller magazine.
Conversely, Tales of the Uncanny had two issues that were part of the series and a third (in Nov-1936) that was not and Tales of Mystery and Detection split into a separate series of its own, entitled simply Mystery and Detection, with a companion series called Mystery Stories.
The only magazine from The World's Work that had no direct connection to the Master Thriller series (although the first issue has, at times, been listed as part of the series) was Tales of Wonder, a science-fiction pulp that ran for 16 issues.
Other minor magazines published were Modern Stories which ran for five issues or so in 1934 and a British reprint edition of All Western Magazine which is believed to have run for a period in the 1940s before merging with West (UK).

It has often been theorized that the first issue was actually an unnumbered volume in the Master Thriller Series. Improved knowledge of that title has disproved this, however, as there are now no known gaps into which Tales of Wonder could fit. The last four issues feature the same standardized cover design.
