Cuba visa for U.K. Citizen

I am a tourist, so I have to go through a non-USA gateway departure city. It is easier that way, no 12 categories of lies.

jenupton - you could try - http://misiones.minrex.gob.cu/en/united-kingdom/embassy-cuba-united-kingdom
But why do you want to contact them ? (The answer that was quoted earlier is not completely accurate- so I would not rely on them to give advice.)

tahoespas - of course, the OFAC rules apply to all US citizens whatever route they take. I would think going via a third country makes your trip more likely to raise questions than ticking a box on the form. But the risk of either may be pretty tiny.

Changing planes in Mexico rather than flying direct from the US in no way changes the legality of a trip.

I fail to see how flying to Mexico, then changing planes to Cuba is easier than just checking a box and signing a form to fly direct.

One thing flying through another country rather than simply going direct may do is arouse suspicion about what you are trying to hide in the extremely rare event anyone cared.

But to each their own.
