I rarely get frothy  white things in my garden.  What is this one, please?

In London. Keen but lazy.

    Cow Parsley pretty but it’s a weed

    There are a lot of Umbelliferae species so not always easy to say which one is which. That looks a lot like Sweet Cicely but don't take my word for it.

    I'd agree with @Palustris. It looks like that to me. 
    Foliage isn't right for cow parsley - or the flower head.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I have a lot of umbellifers too and I have sweet cicley and I think the leaf shape is different.

    I don't mind what it is I'd like more😊
    Would sweet cicely leaves have a smell? 
    It looks a bit carroty to me. Might it be a relative?

    Whatever it is weed or otherwise if you like it keep it. It’ll seed I expect and then you’ll have as many as you want .

    The wild carrot family has various umbellifers in it.
