The Algerian version a much bigger leaf (to 8 to 10 inches across). The veins aren't as visible. Often new leaves a light green. The English variety smalled leafed to 3 inches across. They can be variegated or not. Ivy can either be a nuisance or a welcome ground cover...making it nigh impossible for weeds to get through. They have a habit of climbing walls and trees. The plant will grow "feet" off the vine line...attaching very securely to the tree or wall. Not too much sun for these and medium water. Ideally, like in parking strips, they should be trimmed down to the ground (ideally by winter time) every 2-3 years for a better more robust look.

I wish you would pictures that would enlarge from the thumbnails. I like the woods picture, so cool and green, and it would be nice to print it.
