Thanks

It gives the impression of being some type of whitebeam, but whitebeams
mostly have white undersides to the leaves.

(Himalayan whitebeam, Sorbus cuspidata, seems a better match than the
common whitebeam, Sorbus aria, but I'm not convinced by either
identification.) For a London street tree Sorbus cuspidata is probably
more likely that one of the British endemics.
