Hi, I see this tree in a pot on my way to work each day. It’s stunning and would love to get one for my garden. Can anyone identify it from this photo?
It looks like regular culinary bay to me as well. Lots of people have posted questions about them recently, mostly about winter damage, but that one looks fine and healthy. Maybe it's in a mild area or sheltered microclimate.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

No a regular bay or laurus nobilis. I have a few of these in pots and its leaf is much glossier and more like a Ficus.

Not a regular Bay. I have these already. Not a mild climate either, I live in Edinburgh, and whilst not the coldest of climates, we did have a big cold snap in December and it has not suffered any damage, unlike my bay trees.
Leaves of Sarcococca are very different depending on which species it is. Below is Sarcococca confusa...showing the miniscule male and female flowers, leaves and berries.

I can see the branches and Petioles are red.
The leaves also look thicker.
It looks rather like an ordinary bay to me - Laurus nobilis

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Pic trimmed to show detail.
I would describe that as a shrub.
Trees usually have a single trunk.
Definitely Sarcoccoca sp
It has had flowers earlier on.
Look later to see the berries.
Variegated shrub ..bottom right is Euonymus ...is a small leaved one / gives clue to leaf sizes.
Laurus nobilis....leaf
Prunus lusitanica..leaf
