1) some form of crucifer, possibly Rape
2) hard to say without leaves, but maybe hoary cress?
3) Lucerne (Medicago sativa)
4) another crucifer. My first thought was wall-rocket, but then hedge mustard. It's hard to pick out any leaves in the photo, but if I had to pick something, i'd say a wall-rocket of some sort (perennial?). Looking at the photo again, it isn't hedge mustard

for 4 I would guess at Black Mustard or Hoary Mustard.

I'd say:
1. Possibly a Rocket - Diplotaxis sp.
2. Hoary Cress - Lepidium draba.
3. Lucerne - Medicago sativa agg.
4. Hedge Mustard - Sisymbrium officinale. The only yellow crucifer with seed-pods lying closely appressed to its long, wirey stems. Unmistakable.

Agree 1 looks like a Diplotaxis + on 2/3.

I believe 4 is Hoary Mustard, Hirschfeldia incana which has crowded inflorescences laying along the axis. From what I can see of the fruit shape + the stem leaves their shapes support this ID. This is now an abundant crucifer around London.

I concede on 4. Your probably far more familiar with it than I am.
Hirschfeldia incana (Hoary Mustard) is not a plant that has quite reached this part of the world yet. But judging by the distribution maps, it won't be long!
