Vitis coignetae ...

Agreed. No hope without further information. Size and texture of leaf
would reduce the list by a factor of ten.

Have googled all these , and its not any of them . The one I saw was
very very larged leaves compared to them .and the leaves were a shiney,
rubbery feel and looked just like a heart shape
I know with out any pictures or concrete information it may be hard to ID
Thanks

in fact, having heart shaped leaves seems a favourite trick with
climbers; it allows them to tangle with each other and with whatever
they are climbing on.

But if you could tell us where you saw it and whether it was in a garden,
greenhouse, conservatory or living room, it would give us a start!

Rubber plants leaves don't have cut outs. I think you're thinking of the
Swiss cheese plant, Monstera deliciosa. I also think that you may have seen
a Magnolia delavayi growing against a wall. I can't think of a climber with
truly huge leaves outdoors in UK though I'm sure someone else will, if there
is such a thing. There is also Rhododendron macabeanum which has large
leaves but I wouldn't call those heart shaped. I suppose you did see this
plant in UK?

I cannot remember the name of it, but there is a scrambling climbing
thing that has heart shaped dinner plate (well maybe side plates :-)
size leaves that grows outdoors in UK. last time I saw it was in
Cambridge University botanic gardens (in Cambridge believe it or
not).

Well, I grow a climber that has roughly heart shaped leaves up to
about 9"x11" - Vitis coignetae - and I live less than 3 miles from
that botanic garden!

It sounds a more likely solution, I'd think.
