I've spent the last 6 weeks demolishing a wall and cleaning the bricks to reuse. The local salvage yard told me they had reclaimed London bricks, but when I went to look at their stock I was told they couldn't match the face on the bricks I've been cleaning. As I need quite a lot more bricks, can anyway suggest how to go about matching?

Done exactly the same thing myself last year when demolishing, remodeling & rebuilding the front wall of a 1960's extension. I was around 15% short on some old red flettons so bought the nearest LBC sand faced red brick match & mixed them in; even the fact they are a slightly different size doesn’t notice.
Build Center offer a brick matching service. It's about £15 but they do match the brick exactly for you.
Good Luck
