Looks like you have just pulled out the leaf-I think there is a bulb further down.

Snowdrops or bluebells.

If it was garlic you'd know about it - and the leaves aren't big enough.

I'd leave it for now to see what it does - flowers or whatever, and then look to eradicate it if you really don't like it.

The leaves look a tad too wide for actual bluebells to me- I'd go for a bluebell type - Pyrenean squill.

wild garlic looking leaves (rub them, should have faint garlic smell), oblong bulb and I bet it has white flowers = wild garlic.
If your near south east london I'd be happy to come and dig up your problem for you

It's edible and tasty:)
