What tree is this?

Saw this tree earlier today in Wimbledon and would love to know what it is. Can anyone enlighten me?

Ash of sorts ?

The colour suggests copper beech.  Could you show us some leaves in close-up?

Don’t think it’s an Ash but happy to be proved wrong

There are a few. Google "purple leaved ash" and you'll see

A really gorgeous form of Fraxinus = ash 

I wonder if if succumbs to the Chalara fraxinea ... we’re in a hotspot here but the one at Waitrose still looks healthy.
