Pterocarya fraxinifolia perhaps?

Many thanks, Gerd and Uli!

I see that it sometimes naturalises in the UK which would explain its semi-natural habitat on the banks of the Thames! Actually, as I was photographing the tree a passer-by on the footpath said "yes, it's a fine tree, isn't it" but he didn't know what it was...
