Can anyone help ID this flowering bush plant?

Good morning everyone! I wanted help identifying this flowering large shrub I found flowering outside our local church in Slough. Can anyone tell me what it is .. I'd love to have it in my garden for winter interest.

    I think it's a confused choisya (Mexican Orange Blossom)
    They wouldn't usually be in flower at this time of year, but the unseasonably warm weather we had recently has confused it

    Lots of flowers are confused this year. I have a Magnolia grandiflora with an opening flower bud, and a golden showers rose still in flower.

    If it's winter flowers you're after have a look at Sweet Box (Sarcococca) too which does flower in winter and is very fragrant.
    Choisya flowers are also scented (like orange blossom)

    I just realised that I planted the choisya (Mexican Orange Blossom) at the front of my house last February/March and I didn't realise it was also called 'Sundance'.. I have 3 infact full sun facing and because they are light green colour and I have never seen them bloom, so couldn't have known. But thanks again.
