    I wondered if it was a type of ilex (holly).
    I couldn't see the serrated leaf edges in the previous photo, but I can in the new ones.
    Just a guess

    Billericay - Essex

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Here are some closer images of the leaves.
    Thank you.
    That rules out Sarcococca completely.
    Now looks like a very well pruned Prunus.

    As mentioned earlier, it's a Portuguese Laurel, Prunus Lusitanica 'Augustifolia'.

    That was my very first suggestion, although I missed the 'Angustifolia' cultivar mention. ;)
