A video of an interview with John Turner, owner of Ambience Tiling, about the restoration of the tiles in New Regent Street.

The tiles took six to eight weeks to arrive, with about 10,500 new tiles produced. The video also includes an interview with Iain Taylor, a tiler at Ambience Tiling, about the retiling process.
