I came across an escape evergreen climber this afternoon.

Plant growing to 3 m or more, foliage alternate, shortly petiolate,
blades ovate-lanceolate (broadest near the base, 5-7 cm long, 1.5-2 cm
wide), shallowly cordate, acuminate.

I think that it may be a Lonicera. Does it ring any bells with anyone.

Just a thought, the first thing that jumped into my head was Clematis
armandii ?? just a thought !!

It's a better match than I would have expected for a clematis, but
Clematis armandii has ternate leaves, while this plant had simple,
rather than compound leaves. (And opposite leaves, rather than the
alternative leaves that I mistyped.)
