Default Cotton wool tree??

A friend has asked me if I know the identity of the tree near her home
which produces a mass of cotton wool as it sheds its seeds. 'Her' tree
is in Bristol, but I saw a similar display at Hampton Court on Saturday.
Alas, I couldn't get close enough to it to see if there was a label.
I know it's not much information, but these trees are currently shedding
their white woolly seed mass. Any ideas, please?
