It is just a common ivy, however I can't give you it's proper name. They grow up trees or on concrete and brick buildings.
They are indeed fast growing plants, but in the right setting, they can be very attractive. They can also become invasive
if not managed. There are different varieties, some with more variegated leaves, and some with larger leaves.

Thumbs up London

Thank you, any tips on how best to manage them? They seem to be originating from another garden and just comeback back everytime I rip them out/cut them back.
Thanks again.
