Default West-facing evergreen climber?

Here are 2 photos of a possible candidate which I found growing in a
small sunless courtyard in Provence in December (so it should be able
to survive in Shrewsbury, I think). The foliage looks quite hardy.
Can anyone identify it, please?

Neither picture will show for me.

For a candidate I suggest Trachelospermum jasminoides/asiaticum, Stauntonia
hexaphylla (Shrewsbury may be a bit too cold), maybe Holboellia, or an
evergreen lonicera (depends how vigorous you want it to be!).
