A niche request but please could anyone out and about in West End theatres report back if shows are still printing flyers for distribution in the theatre foyers etc?
Thanks kindly.

Now that more theatres are open, would anyone mind keeping an eye out and reporting back if flyers are still widely available in foyers, please? I'd really appreciate it. Not due to be in London for a while.

I am reasonably sure there were neither for Constellations or Amelie. Shows are tending to rush people through the foyer and short of the very small number of people that need to go to the Box Office, staff are directing you through quite quickly. So it is entirely possible that a) I didn't seem them and/or b) they have decided to do without to keep people moving through faster.
I did notice that the Arts Theatre had a newly stocked London postcards display and I think the Clapham Omnibus did have it's normal flyer display back in effect by the front door.

Was searching for a relevant thread and thought I would just revive this one. Does anyone happen to know of any stands or areas I could grab some flyers for various shows? Hoping to get some for the shows I’m seeing this trip. Thank you!

Promotional flyers/postcards are still available. I pick them up all the time however usually not in theater foyers but alternative venues, like pubs, libraries, that sort of thing.

Hoping to get some for the shows I’m seeing this trip. Thank you! The Crown (a Greene King pub) on Seven Dials has a tourist leaflet area at the very back right. It often has flyers for various West End shows.
Otherwise it can be quite random in theatres. Off the top of my head, the Garrick certainly has some in the middle just by the doors and The Criterion has some in holders just outside the doors.
