Can you help Identify this plant??
 
Hi - first post, please be kind!

I have this growing in my garden + I'm not sure what it is; I thought it was a variety of snowdrop at first but now I'm not sure. It's just started to bloom and I have several 'singles' and 1 large clump; the leaves smell of onion when crushed.

Some pics:

I don't know its "official" name but it looks and sounds like some sort
of wild onion. It does multiply (quite a bit) and can become a
nuisance. I get rid of it whenever I find it in my yard.

The stems are triangular, if that helps. And I'm in the UK as well............ someone else doesnt' think it is in the alium family?
