Looks more like Creeping Thistle - Cirsium arvense to me. Where did you see it? Slender Thistle is mostly coastal in its distribution.
Regards, Audrey. |

Agree this is Creeping Thistle - Cirsium arvense, slender thistle looks slightly different and is mainly restricted to coasts where it is locally common except in the North.

This plant was about 7 miles from the coast so, I agree, creeping thistle is the most likely ID.

Slender thistle usually has more flowers in a head, too, and looks greyish.
