What kind of tree is this and is it a good wood to burn?

What kind of tree is this? These photos were taken in April in London.

 

Many thanks in advance!

 

PS: if anybody wants these logs for free then just let me know. I can even deliver if it's not too far out of the way.

Acer Negundo, Box Elder. Never burned it myself but its a Maple so I would imagine it burns like most other Maples...well.

Thanks a lot, this really helps!!

PS: Is there anything I have to look out for when climbing it? Is it unusually brittle (like Willows) or does it behave like most Maples? Just want to make sure as I don't know this tree.

Much like a maple, possibly slightly more brittle

Thanks again and all the very Best!!

I suppose West Sussex is toooooooo far ? ?

Yes, West Sussex is much too far. The tree is in Streatham and after I'm done I will pass through Brixton, Central London up to Northwest London. A 20 min detour is ok, but not more than that. Thanks for asking though.
