I put "very" in the title because the TV presenters idea of a small garden
and reality is not the same. We are talking about 20ft by 30ft. and it's
about 5 miles from Heathrow.

Friend needs a small decorative tree, preferably deciduous, for her back
garden, gets sun for a couple of hours daily, quite a protected site with
houses all around. Needs something that won't grow too tall or wide and is
not horrendously expensive to buy. Her wish is to attract birds into the
garden because at the moment she has no cover for them. Flowers or autumn
foliage colour would be a bonus.

What about something like Cotoneaster hybridus pendulus?

Very attractive weeping habit. Covered in red berries that attract birds
in winter. Not too fast growing. More or less evergreen rather than
deciduous (but being evergreen is an advantage for birds in winter).
