This is Creeping Woodsorrel, Oxalis corniculata, a tiny plant that hugs the gaps in our walls, stone and concrete. Just about uniquely, the leaves are heart-shaped. It's edible, with a pleasant tip-of-the-tongue sharpness (I tried it this morning). And, I'm told by You Tube, it demands a high price in posh restaurants. Special teams of OCD foragers, even as I write, are combing the cracks in London pavements. Tread softly, because you tread on my lunch.
