I am not sure of this, so I could be barking up the wrong tree, but I think the trees are either a Plane or a Mountain Ash, members of the Sycamore family. In the 1920s Bermondsey Borough Council planted a lot of these trees as part of their scheme to beautify the Borough.
Be tree-mendous if I’m right.
Hi kiwi,
Sorry not to have replied earlier - life got in the way!
The leaves and bark looked just like this: https://www.treeguideuk.co.uk/false-acacia/ my memory says the leaves were not toothed (like the Rowan). I think there were a few spines, but I can't remember the flowers or fruits (if any).
