If you want to keep it and don't want to spend your gardening time pulling up its little babies from all over your garden and edges of your paving remove the seed heads as soon as they form. JUst cut them off the stems that the sedge throws out and bin them. The seeds are so small and light the wind carries them everywhere otherwise.. The sedge will form a large clump but doesn't spend otherwise.

I think the grassy plants in last two pics are Liriope. I have it all over my yard, the small ones, the giant variety, and the variegated ones as well. They love to be in the ground and will even give you some not-too-noticeable purple bloom spikes with a feed once or twice a season. Here's one of the giant ones in the ground at the entrance to my Big Garden:
Metalmama, the evergreen in the 4th picture could be Prunus lusitanica, Portuguese laurel. And I think I'd go with Sussexsun & Nutcutlet's ID of carex (sedge) for the grassy plant. Unfortunately the leaf doesn't look flat enough to be Liriope, in my opinion... could be wrong though...

hi
i am a lurker but those grasses look like sedge cared pendula.
looks nice but self seeds and can be a nightmare to keep control of all its little babies it sends out.
Carex pendula, I think you're right Sussexsun. Don't lurk, come out and play
Has it got a ridge down the back of the leaf giving it a triangular shape Metalmama?
In the sticks near Peterborough

Thank you nutcutlet I might just do that
Nutcutlet - yes it does have a ridge at the back in a triangular shape.
It appears to be just roots.
I've never had an issue with the seeds but have a gravel garden so maybe that's why?

Oooh thanks!
What a lovely garden you have there! What's the purple flowering plant you have in the large pot?
