Have googled all these , and its not any of them . * The one I saw was
very very larged leaves compared to them .and the leaves were a shiney,
rubbery feel and looked just like a heart shape
I know with out any pictures or concrete information it may be hard to
ID
Thanks
But if you could tell us where you saw it and whether it was in a garden,
greenhouse, conservatory or living room, it would give us a start!

It was growing all over a garage at the back of somones house , I had
never seen leafs so large on a climber . Big as a dinner plate
Leafs reminded me of a rubber plants leafs with out the cut outs
Rubber plants leaves don't have cut outs. I think you're thinking of the
Swiss cheese plant, Monstera deliciosa. *I also think that you may have seen
a Magnolia delavayi growing against a wall. *I can't think of a climber with
truly huge leaves outdoors in UK though I'm sure someone else will, if there
is such a thing. *There is also Rhododendron macabeanum which has large
leaves but I wouldn't call those heart shaped. *I suppose you did see this
plant in UK?

I cannot remember the name of it, but there is a scrambling climbing
thing that has heart shaped dinner plate (well maybe side plates :-)
size leaves that grows outdoors in UK. last time I saw it was in
Cambridge University botanic gardens (in Cambridge believe it or
not).
