Definitely a sycamore. Unless you want huge trees in the next 10 years I would suggest you pull out every seedling you see and dig out any that have grown. They grow at a tremendous speed.
I thought the clem might be Elsa Spath ... but the stamens look wrong to me ... although in the last photo here they're more like the ones the OP 's pic shows ...
Then I can find out once and for all when the stars are shining bright above would there be birds singing in the sycamore tree (Dream a little dream of me).

NO!!!! Please re think. In UK they are not the best tree to have in a private garden. They have no fab autumn colour. They grow enormous. The leaves all develop ugly black spots. They seed everywhere.
I'm starting to wonder if my huge sycamore is a sycamore after all. The chap who pruned it a good while ago mentioned something else but I didn't catch what he said.
@Cecelia-L I wouldn't have been able to identify your first two pics until now as I bought two from Poundland last week! Centaurea Montana and Centaurea Macrocephala. The pics of the promised flowers took my fancy. They were quite well grown and the compost was still damp which is a lot to be said for our Poundland. I often buy something which definitely needs rescuing and often end up with a good plant for my troubles. To be fair a lot of my shrubs etc were bought there and have done exceedingly well. I just hope my Centaureas look as good as yours in time. I have learnt so much being on this forum.

Maybe this would be clearer.
Sycamore to left. Norway to the right.
