If it's in bloom now, I think it's Bride's Blossom, one of the spireas, iirc. Google it and it should give you images to compare.

atb,

Got it! Googled Spiraea and came up with Spiraea Arguta; matches exactly, and they have it as common name Bridal Wreath, 'though it probably has many common and folk/dialect names. Thankyou Mary, atb mac.

I found it in a garden opposite my front window and the thing that caught me was the way the blossoms pick up the evening light; about the last thirty minutes as the sun goes down they catch the light in a really magic way. I never knew there were so many different and fabulous shades of white. I now know enough to take a few cuttings and experiment to see if it would be as interesting if I plant it at the back of the house.........

Thankyou again for your help, ...........atb mac

It grows in a neighbour's backgarden, and sometimes it almost looks as if it glows
