Or possibly Lamiastrum galeobdolon (Yellow Archangel), which puts out
long runners and is extremely invasive. I heard someone refer to it
once as Lamium Galloping-along which suits it very well.

The variegated version does have a very metallic looking leaf.

Yep, that's the chappy!

Is it native or has it come from someone's garden?

I think it's a garden escapee.
