I have very kindly been given a plant by a friend. He has identified it as Magnolia grandiflora, but I'm not so sure. I have a M. grandiflora, and it doesn't look particularly like the new plant.
So on the left is a leaf from the definite M. grandiflora, and on the right is a leaf from the new plant.
And on the right is the M. grandiflora, and on the left and middle are the new plant.
They don't look very much like each other do they? Any thoughts?

Hmm
To me that looks like the leaf of a Magnolia delaveyii... another hardy evergreen Magnolia with huge leaves!
If so, you are very very lucky. They are not easy to find.

Thanks for the ID! And sorry if you're all the same person there - I didn't check my comment moderation feed for ages.
