The London Plane or Hybrid Plane is a hybrid species of the genus Platanus. The scientific name is Platanus x hispanica, synonym Platanus x acerifolia. It is usually thought to be a hybrid of the Oriental Plane P. orientalis with the American Plane (American sycamore) P. occidentalis. Some authorities think that it may be a cultivar of P. orientalis, but there is little evidence for this.

It is very tolerant of atmospheric pollution and root compaction, and for this reason it is a popular urban roadside tree. It is now extensively cultivated in most temperate latitudes as an ornamental and parkland tree, and is the most common tree in many northern cities – not just London but New York City, Paris and many others. It has a greater degree of winter cold tolerance than the Oriental Plane, and is less susceptible to disease than the American Plane.
