Can anyone name this beautiful tree please

Hello ,
This tree is by the Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green and not one person who I have asked knows what it is .
It is stunning and the flowers grow not only on its branches but also out of its gorgeous gnarled trunk .
I would love to add one to my garden and have enclosed the photos I took .
Many thanks

Nancy

Possibly Cercis siliquastrum - Judas Tree

I think every garden should have one! If you don't have a lot of room in your garden you could give Cercidiphyllum japonicum "Katsura" a go as they have the same dainty leaf cover as the Cersis (sadly no flowers though) and the leaves smell sweetly of burnt sugar/toffee in the autumn... just a thought! (it's another favourite of mine :D)
