I have these weeds/plants growing by the steam running through my garden, however I don’t know whether to cut them down or not.

    That's Lapsana communis (aka Nipplewort), a common weed/wildflower:

    I'm sorry to say but that looks like Japanese Knotweed.

    I agree, the last two photos look like Japanese Knotweed.

    Agree - and some willowherb as well, into the bargain, in that last pic.

    At least that can just be pulled out...unlike the JK. :/
