  Thanks @Hostafan1,
  Hmm, interesting, I'll be happy if it is and I can get snipping, but I'm not sure.
  I have Box elsewhere, and although there isn't much in it, the leaves on this seem less rounded at the tip, more elongated, and are white tipped,
  here is a closer shot if it helps.

  I agree with Hostafan1, it's Buxus Sempervirens. The white tips are typical of weather stress. This is often seen on potted shrubs where they have been subjected to inconsistent but more likely lack of water and cold wind.
