TfL have permitted previously banned posters for Operation Mincemeat.
As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Operation Mincemeat received a ban from TfL for its latest poster, due to looking like ‘graffiti’. The poster was revised in response to the rapidly growing number of five-star reviews.
The company ruled that the new design looked too much like graffiti and refused to display the poster, despite it being accepted everywhere else.
As part of TfL’s advertising policy, it does not allow adverts which include or feature graffiti, as it encourages wider acts of vandalism across the transport network.
Fans of the show took matters into their own hands, taking photos of the advert in a newspaper in various locations on the Underground and posting the images on social media.
The same posters have now been accepted by TfL and are now starting to appear throughout the transport network.
A TfL spokesperson said: “Following a productive meeting with the producers of Operation Mincemeat, we have now been able to find a way to accommodate their original creative on our network, while still adhering to our advertising policy. We always look to work with brands to ensure their creatives adhere to our advertising policy."
Operation Mincemeat has just announced a fifth booking extension and is now booking until 21 April 2024.

He describes how the unassuming residence on Henley Street was turned into a museum in the 19th century, long after the deaths of its original inhabitants, cementing the turn in the playwright’s popularity after the snub of the 1700s. We go from an initial indifference shown to the places that moulded the Bard of Avon to the frenzy of fake relics (uncountable people owned a a sample of “Shakespeare’s chair” in Victorian times, so many that it was regularly swapped for a new one to distribute). The book is jam-packed with facts and dates, but it flows well and it’s easy to follow - a delectable piece of microhistory and the perfect stocking filler for those who dabble in bardolatry.
