Can anyone tell me what this shrub might be?

The shrub on the left in the picture with the bench and a closer picture of the leaves in
the second picture also on the left. Just moving house and can't figure out what it might be!
Any help would be great!
thanks!

Looks exactly like my Pittosporum though very tiny. Mine is a 12ft + tree now though most people trim them and keep them hedge size. Not sure what variety as it was here 25 years ago when I moved in - it was only about 4 to 5 ft then.
The Pittosporum is the one with green leaves edged white in centre of pic 2.
The one referred to in pic 1 to left of bench, clipped ... need a good close up to show details to even begin to id it.
Didn't mean to confuse, I thought it was the same one.
..I shall have to disagree with some of my colleagues here a little and go for a Lilac, the one on the left of both photos, looks like an old twisted one, been hacked about in the top photo...
from the right there is a Choisya sundance, Griselina, Camellia, the big bush in the middle I think is a Leptospermum and the Lilac on the left..
in the bottom picture again old Lilac on the left and the variegated plant in the middle is Pittosporum Tobira variegated...
Hmm!
Agree about the Choisya.
Sorry to disagree Salino
Clipped shrub to left in both pics... cannot be Lilac.. Syringa is not evergreen.
Pittosporum tobira variegatum has much larger leaves.Rounded, slightly recurved.

I would need to see good close ups of other shrubs to suggest what they are.
Haven't a bloomin' clue, myself, but I'm well impressed with those suggestions!
That reminds me Verdun Must make an appointment
