It's arum lily tcam. You can dig them out or use a weed killer. It takes time to rid yourself of them they seed freely. Some people love them others not. Now is a good time to use a weedkiller if you wish.
They have millions of tiny white bulbs under the surface and you rarely can get them all out. Try digging down deeply and remove every bulb you can find, then use weedkiller on any new shoots that appear. Notoriously difficult to get rid of. Good luck.
Mine struggle for existence under my red sycamore, I never give them the chance to escape from there as indeed, we'd be overwhelmed by them. As it is, the few that make it are lovely.

Thank you for the advice. It is a lovely day here so I will start this morning. I don't mind one or two weeds but not as many as I have found today.

Great in a wildflower garden or woodland - not so good in a tidy border. As has been said, you can dig them out or use glyphosate or both.
