Useful link Giles.

 

Here's my "latifolia" from one of another 6 we discovered yesterday.

The site has loads of torminalis, intermedia & aria as well.

I reckon your getting close enough with that one David, not that I claim to have any knowledge beyond pages 281 and 284 of Collins...

 

But it certainly seems to tick the boxes - the second pic seems to fit the 'hard dark shiny green above' description of the leaf, which is also indicated in the DK book.

 

It also mentions one of the largest recorded specimens, being in Battersea Park - 17m tall, 1.8m girth - how do they compare to that?
