Got this very attractive plant at our local garden centre with no label!
They have no idea what it is.
Any ideas.....?

Argyranthemum frutescens
cultivar Johnny, but I've no idea which.

Thanks Ashley - that looks a good suggestion.

I'd agree - they are known as "Marguerites" here for some reason and very popular in "Cottage Gardens" and found in white, pink and red shades,

I grew a very similar (probably identical) 'Marguerite' in two pots last year but failed to get it though the winter despite putting it in the garage - the best I can manage for a cool frost-free environment. The nearest cultivar I have seen on sale this year is one called 'Double Espresso Macchiato', pictured here:
http://www.vanmeuwen.com/flowers/flower-plants/annual-bedding-plants/argyranthemum-double-espresso-macchiato/V70508VM?source=aw&awc=3170_1463374947_1200e8b2e3c7e31e98c513d1fd34352b
. But the one I had last year was more plain white, like your appears to be JohnnyD.
The ones I bought last year came from the sales table at Wallington Hall
http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/wallington
but if I ever knew the cultivar name that knowledge was quickly lost.

Could it be 'Madeira Double White'?
