I'm quite sure it is a Davidia as it resembles the specimens I have planted myself when working at a tree nursery ( worked there fore more than a decade). It's possible that it is the variety vilmoriniana, as it is always difficult to judge plants and trees from photos because you can't see or feel the fine details.
I know that there is a specimen at Kew Gardens, where they also have very knowledgeable staff. I'd say ask them.
Thankyou Flowerchild, will definitely have to go and hunt one down, I'm probably due for a visit to Kew anyway, last time I went it was only 1d to get in!
