Welcome to GoY
It's called London Pride
Botanical name - Saxifraga umbrosa

It looks like the variegated one, too - I don't like correcting Hywel, but I think it's actually Saxifraga x urbium 'Variegatum'.. Sorry Hywel, the 'umbrosa' could be an old name???

If you google umbrosa it will give you London Pride. If you google urbium it will also give you London Pride.
I found a GoY page via google where it's called umbrosa, and another GoY page where it's called urbium.
I wish they'd leave plant names alone. I tend to remember the first names I learnt for them. Can't keep up with so many changes.

Thank you both very much for helping me to identify my plant. I appreciate it very much.

I do so agree, Hywel! I've only just got used to calling 'Montbretia' 'Crocosmia'.

Now I'm not supposed to call my Alyssum saxatilis by that name any longer. I can't even remember what the new name is!

Yes, Gaul, you are welcome. Take your pick! :-)))
