This looks like a frequently scalped lawn. Try raising the cut of the mower, cut more frequently and enjoy the 'species rich' sward. You will probably see a better range of wild flowers under the new regime.
The soil is already impoverished so wild flowers will be able to compete better with the grass than in a 'properly' managed lawn.
