It is a Melilot - maybe Ribbed Melilot (Melilotus officinalis)

These Melilots are notoriously difficult in the field unless you are lucky enough to have both Tall and Ribbed growing together, when the differences become more obvious.

Here is a simple key from R.S.R.Fitter.
"The two commonest are confusingly alike, both being locally common in bare, waste and grassy places in the SE. half of England thinning out N. and W.

Ribbed Melilot - Melilotus officinalis has canary yellow flowers, with the keel slightly shorter than the wings and standard and hairless with markedly wrinkled brown pods, glabrous when young.

Tall Melilot - M. altissima has more golden yellow flowers with keel equaling wing and standard and downy, faintly wrinkled black pods, hairy when young." "Both species can grow to 1.5m."
