I second that yellow oxalis stuff (the one with the brown leaves) Horrid looking thing which self seeds at every opportunity (especially in the tiniest cracks) and the roots are incredibly tenacious for such a small thing.
It's a toss up between that, lesser celandine, brambles, bindweed, spanish bluebells, thistles, herb robert and wild arum italicum - all of which are removed at regular intervals - only to reappear after the first drop of rain.

creeping thistle, couch grass and willow herb

Some sort of grass, a creeping holcus? that sends deep roots from mown grass, under stone walls, far into borders before popping up. It necessitates digging up plants to clear the thick white roots. Awful stuff. And marestail, never had this before but now that is coming under a stone boundary wall from the farmer's field......with creeping thistles.
Out on a limb here - ground elder and yellow loosestrife! Neck and neck I would say, but a bit easier to clear the loosestrife, I've attacked quite a lot of it already, but there's always bits of GE I can't get at, or only by lifting all the other plants
