Tree I.D. Please

Leaves look a bit like Prunus to me.

 

I've just zoomed in on the first image and some of those leaves look similar to a Maple leaf - not the same as those in the second image. Could they be Plane trees?

Edit:

 

I agree, some maples leaves there also.

 

And would any of those colour up like those leaves.
Which is why I was thinking cherry but the upright habit of the trees don't really bear that idea out.

 

I've just zoomed in on the trees,like @Sheal did, and I must admit the ones still left on the trees do look more maple like than the majority of those on the ground.

I think the leaves in the top photo - and therefore presumably the trees - are Acers. And the coloured ones in the bottom photo are Prunus. But not the same leaves in the two pictures - if you look at the leaves in the road at the top... I should say that I am about as unqualified to answer here as it is possible to be.

 

Could they be managed that way though? I lived on Cranleigh Gardens in Muswell Hill once and it was lined both sides by cherries that looked pretty much like that as I remember.

 

Definitely not Ash and I don't think they are Birch. Both Beech and Pete's suggestion of Prunus are possibilities though, but Beech leaves are heavily veined and I can't see that in the second image. There could be Prunus over hanging the road from gardens.

Edit: The leaves that I 'framed' in the second image are not from an Acer.
