Anyone recognise this? Some sort of leguminous/vetch type is my nearest guess!

I used to have indigofera (indigo) which looked very similar

Looks like Medicago sativa ... grown by farmers as cattle fodder and known as Lucerne or alfalfa ... it’s naturalised all over the UK.

Hi, thanks both. Both look similar but don’t think its either, these flowers droop down a bit like kniphofia, but only on one side...

Have you tried it under latin name of Vicia. Lots of similar images come up if you put purple and Vicia in a search engine. There are several similar looking things.
