You could use it as a pergola and grow things up it. Clematis, roses, grape vine maybe.
In London. Keen but lazy.

How sturdy is the frame? I can see a few possible ways to reuse it but it looks like it needs so much work that you'd probably get very little money for it. Replacing curved glass panels can't be cheap either and I think that puts people off with this type of frame. It would make a great framework for a mancave type shed project though.
I'd think lots of the fixings will be rusted into place. and the whole thing really needs sandblasting to get rid of rust. You could offer it free to someone who wants it, but I think that's a slim hope too. I'd re task it as others have suggested. Cover it in wisteria and have a dining area underneath.
I was strongly reminded of the Lost Gardens of Heligan when l saw your photos. I suppose it depends on just how keen you are to restore it, it would certainly entail a great deal of work. I have done a bit of Googling and there are various articles about restoring metal framed greenhouses. There is advice out there, but in the end the decision is yours. Spend time and money restoring it to its former glory, or demolish it and start again. I'd be interested to know what you decide to do
