  Cherry plum can bloom very early.

  In London. Keen but lazy.

  Prunus...probably Prunus × subhirtella 'Autumnalis Rosea' 
  Flowers on bare twigs in winter.
  Flowering now.

  I agree with @Silver surfer ... Prunus x subhirtella autumnalis ‘Rosea’. 

  
  

  A gorgeous tree that will burst into flower in mild spells from autumn to spring. We had one at my last workplace and it was a constant delight through dreary winters. I bought one for my parents and they loved it too.

  Yes there are winter flowering cherries in Regent's park London.  When I did the RHS course our tutor told us about a story in the London evening standard claiming they were another example of global warming.  He wrote to them to explain that they always flower in winter I don't think they published his letter though.
