Any idea what this tree is?

This tree is growing in the church flower bed. It has the look of a bird sowing, but want to check before removing...
It is about 6' high

With a close-up of the leaves


And confirmation that this is a Sycamore, to the left of the Acer
And again leaf close up

 

3. and 4. Clear pics of the leaves.... show Sycamore.
Cannot see detail clearly in 1 and 2 to be positive.

Have a look around to see if the parent tree is nearby.
Seedlings can grow very fast!

 

Thanks @Silver surfer ! At home I would have been positive about the sycamore, and would have cut it out over a year ago (when I first noticed it). But it's always different when it's on someone else's land, isn't it?

I can see that the photos of the first tree are not so clear. I will take some more when I go next. But to me the leaves look half-way between an oak (standard, not American) and a sycamore...

 

The 2 lobes at the leaf tip of the first one suggest field maple, but the leaves look far to big for that

 

1 and 2.
Leaves at bottom look small. Sort of like field maple. Top look to have more lobes/are larger..why I am not happy to say for sure.

We posted at same time Zigs! Snap...Great minds...fools etc!

 

We did

Recon it might be a seedling from a field maple crossed with something that fancied a field maple

 

how did you end up in Hainault Forest ?

 

I always try to find a clear link to illustrate my answers.
It just so happened both links were from Hainault forest.
Never been there!

Quote wiki...."Hainault Forest Country Park is located in Greater London, with portions in: Hainault in the London Borough of Redbridge; the London Borough of Havering; and in the Lambourne parish of the Epping Forest District in Essex."

Seems to be an accurate clear site...

Sorry for the delay, but I have got round to taking new photos of the first tree....

Thank you @Silver surfer. I take it not the best tree to have growing within 10 metres of a building?

Though looking at this council building advice, maybe not too bad after all...
