Plant Identity Please

Hi welcome to the forum,
Hope you don't mind me saying, but this has to be the oddest first post I have seen in a long time! Love the description of "leaf plants"
I know that this is the plant ID area, but if you joined so as to post this, you probably would have been better off joining a gardening forum. I am not a gardener, and although your picture looks familiar its not clear enough for me to really tell what it looks like. You would do better taking a still picture that can be posted at large scale and using something like Photobucket to get it onto the forum.
Anyway back to the plant.
I did a search on Google just entering "uk weeds pictures identification" https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sour...2&ie=UTF-8#q=uk weeds pictures identification
Then looked at the first four or five suggested sites.
This one is good:
http://www.gardenwithoutdoors.org.uk/weed_guide
This has close-ups of leaves
http://www.downgardenservices.org.uk/weedlf_clumps.htm
Looks like they could be violets, but I could not say for sure. My first thought had been ground ivy, but they don't look right for that. It would have been handy to know if they look like that right now, or if the picture was taken at another time, if you have seen flowers on them, or why you need to know. As I said, I am not a gardener, I just maintain my garden, and am more than happy to pour glyphosphate or boiling water on plants growing where I don't want them, without ever worrying about what they are called or why they like growing there.
Best of luck

My guess would be Campanula, probably small blue flowers anytime now and if it is that then it would be easier to list conditions it wont grow under.

Plus one for one of the Campanulas..there's quite a variety. Standby for little blue bell like flowers, very pretty and it spreads like a good 'un..
I was going to say Ground Ivy too, one of my favourite wild teas, but as you say its hard to tell from the video.
OK guys thanks, I asked because a neighbours has water ingress into her flat from an overflow pipe running on/off for lengthy periods all the time (many months). I videod the external marks & water damage to brickwork & noticed these plants growing from the bottom of the property, its wet through where they are & been so since Jan so I asked here to see if anyone identified them as some kind of plant normaly found in a watery habititat, I did not really concentrate on them with vid, the shot here is a still frame from a 20fps cam. Thanks anyway
