  It's a willowherb. Pull it out or you'll have hundreds!

  In London. Keen but lazy.

  It doesn't look like any willowherb I've seen - and I think I've got most types in my garden 😁

  Could it be Mirabilis jalapa? Do the flowers open in mid-late afternoon? It's known as 'four o'clock plant'.

  Ah - could be then - I've only got 649 varieties in my garden 😁
  
  PS - just put the photo into Google Lens and it also suggests Mirabilia

  I agree, I have the yellow Mirabilis. I wish it was pink though.

  Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

  It is Mirabilis Jalapa, also called Marvel of Peru.

  Four o'clock plant or Marvel of Peru for sure. I have them in my garden. It will spread and don't need much of care.
