Japanese loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is perfect for warm London gardens. It\u2019s evergreen, with large, handsome, corrugated leaves. White flowers in spring, which have a little sweet scent, are followed by round, yellow edible fruit. Once established, loquats are easy to maintain: just hack them back if they get too big.Another option is Japanese pittosporum (Pittosporum tobira) \u2013 its flowers smell heavenly.

It has leathery leaves and flowers that open white and fade to yellow, appearing in late spring or early summer. It will do fine in your soil and loves a sheltered spot, in sun or partial shade. Its dark-green leaves look good with the acid colours of euphorbias, so you could try using Mediterranean spurge (Euphorbia characias subsp wulfenii), another big, fast-growing, leafy plant.
