Screening shrubs that grow fast (do you recognize this one?)

Hello, I am looking to have a line of thick / evergreen shrubs in front of my living room window to block the view of cars parked on the road.
I currently have a line of small ligustrum and pyracantha which I don't feel suits at all (I planted it but it feels wrong).

I feel this shrub may be suitable (the tall one) as I have seen it growing fast at neighbours, but does anyone recognized what it is?

It might be a Euonymus - but I have to admit can't really tell from the pic. Just didn't want your post to go unanswered really.

Bay or Laurel?

I'm not sure what this is but Portuguese laurel might be something to look at? Good for hedging and a bit nicer to look at than regular laurel?

Thank you! After a closer look to the plant in my photo, I came to a conclusion that it is Euonymus with yellow margins, but for some reasons only few branches are with the margins and the rest is simply green. And I want simply rich green plant.

I went to a local nursery and found that I loved loved the look of griselinia!! and just going to measure up and go back to buy it.

8 ligustrum ovaliorum and 4 orange pyracanthas will have to go. Anyone want it for free? (postcode CR0...)
