The flower beds are getting infested with it and I need to find away of
getting rid of it without taking out the lawn (which happened with a heavily
advertised weed killer)

I can dig out some but not all of it as the majority of it grows under
hedges and amongst a couple of hebes.

I'm afraid it's ground elder and it's a most pernicious and persistent
creature! To be honest, while there are organic methods of dealing with it
they take a longish time and in the meantime it's still spreading. While
it's still relatively controllable I would suggest you use weed killer on
it, being careful to spray on a totally still, windless day, avoiding drift
onto the plants you want to keep.
