    1) Dunno - has it just flowered? We need a closer picture of the leaves .

    2) Hypericum

    3) left is Acuba japonica - right - need a closer photo.

    4) Agree with Jiffy i.e. Photinia Red Robin, dunno what the pyramid plant is - maybe laurel?

    5) Dunno

    1. Looks like Photinia sp.
    Maybe Photinia davidiana.

    2.
    3. Aucuba. Possibly Aucuba japonica Crotonifolia.
    Dark foliage...maybe Hebe sp...such as Hebe Black knight.....need a closer pic.

    4. Ilex aquifolium...the pyramid shaped shrub.
    Also I can see Euonymus sp and possibly very young shrubs of Prunus laurocerasus OttoLuyken

      1. Looks like a large standard Photinia
      2. Hypericum
      3. Acuba - spotted Laurel... Dark leaves at back look like Lobelia to me.. I have Queen Victoria and they look like yours..
      4. Photinias at back by wall.. Pyramid tree looks like a trained Bay Laurel - Laurus nobilis and in flower too.. Very attractive, have seen a couple in garden centres..
      5. Trachelospermum jasminoides. or an evergreen Honeysuckle, hard to tell from the photo..
