Saw this tree a week ago in Los Angeles, at a garden courtyard inside the Paul Getty Museum/Villa.

I think that's a tough without any leaves. I thought of a few trees when I saw it:

American Sycamore

London Plane Tree

Persian Ironwood

likely "London plane tree" ( platanus x acerfolia) a hybrid of the American sycamore (p. occidentalis) and the southern European p. orientalis and the most common sycamore in cultivation as a street tree. the tree has been pollarded/cut back to keep the crown in a tight dense shape.  the Persian ironwood (parrotia genus) has kind of similar bark but is generally a much smaller tree and rarely seen as a street tree in the area.

Agree with either London Plane, or CA. Sycamore.. < Have seen them butchered like this around San Jose in the past.. Grrr!  American Sycamore aren't as commonly seen in CA. as in other areas.

Parrotia might survive in temperate parts of the Bay Area ( S.F. / Half Moon Bay, etc.. / North Coast / Sierras, but likely wayy too warm for them in 95% of S. Cal.  Never encountered any planted around San Jose, or Santa Cruz / areas up in the S.C. Mountains i spent any time.. growing up there.

Platanus x hispánica (acerifolius), no doubt. There are thousands of them in the mediterranean countries.
