    Thankyou @nutcutlet I never know if I should keep? Feel bad saying that I I’m sure I probably should for pollinators

    No. It's a weedy geum urbanum. Or as predictive text would have it ,grim urbanism. A much better name 
    There are much better plants to provide for pollinators
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    lots of prettier plants are good for pollinators. If it's a larval food plant get them a garden Geum :)
