Here are some of seedlings, one has its first set of proper leaves.

Thanks in advance!!
As above, these do seem to be Sycamore.

If you are worried about Knotweed, it grows from the rhizome rather than seedling so if you had a patch very nearby and it was growing then you could be sure this was the problem. Thankfully in your case it's not so!
