Those maple leaves can be found in Green Park, next to the Buckingham Palace gate. They are part of a fountain that pays tribute to the nearly one million Canadian men and women who served in the United Kingdom during the First and Second World Wars.
This tree in Saline turns, nicely orange-red; but keeps its green for an unusual effect.
In 1889 Saline Village had a successful maple tree planting program, and I think this is one of those trees. Every Autumn I try to get a picture.

Acer opalus subsp. obtusatum
Italian maple
Acer opalus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acer opalus (Italian Maple) is a species of maple native to the hills and mountains of southern and western Europe, from Italy to Spain and north to southern Germany, and also in northwest Africa in Morocco and Algeria.[1][2]
It is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 20 m tall, with a trunk up to 1 m diameter. The leaves are glossy green, 7-13 cm long and 5-16 cm across, palmately lobed with blunt teeth. They turn yellow in autumn. The bark is grey and pink. It peels in square plates. It has small yellow flowers that open before the leaves appear. The fruit is a pair of winged samaras, each seed 1 cm diameter with a 1.5-2.5 cm wing.[2]
Trees with shallowly lobed leaves are sometimes separated as a distinct subspecies Acer opalus subsp. obtusatum, but the characters are not constant and the species is treated as monotypic by the Flora Europaea.[1][2]
