Re: Tree identification
I can't really see the shape of the leaves from your pictures. Have a look at this site. I have found it quite helpful in the past.
If it's still not clear what tree you have try to photo a leaf and a fruit casing on their own so that I can see the shape better.
If you open up a fruit casing and take a picture of the type of fruit that would also be helpful. Have to say though it does look like some form of either a European chestnut or beech nut tree.

Re: Tree identification
I agree with homealone. The lobed leaves didn't show up too well on your original photos. Here's a good photographic illustration for you to compare with your tree.

With some more information here.

Re: Tree identification
I like Plane trees..they are so part of the urban environment people don't really notice them.

Re: Tree identification
Where I used to live there was a row of about 20 Plane trees. They stood in a single row at the end of a grassed area with no buildings near by to obscure them. They looked incredible and the sound of the wind going through the leaves was lovely.
