Well, I once heard that hammering copper nails into trees will kill them,
eventually, but don't know if it's true. You could try injecting
translocated herbicide under the bark. Uh-oh, I'll probably get fired for
saying that....
Incidentally, sycamore in England is actually a maple, Acer
pseudoplatanus, and nothing to do with the American sycamore, Platanus
occidentalis, which in England is called a plane.
