Hi, I removed your duplicate submission. Tentatively this looks like it could be Hypomma bituberculatum: http://srs.britishspiders.org.uk/portal.php/p/Summary/s/Hypomma+bituberculatum

I like BugGuide.net but that only covers USA and Canada. Others I’m aware of but haven’t used much are ProjectNoah.org and iNaturalist.org

Typo, off by one letter (Hypomma bitubercalatum = Hypomma bituberculatum) but I had left a link above to a species page with an image for comparison and info. There are other species in the genus but H. biturberculatam looks the most likely. Here is the page again:

Less common and it looks like the coloration is more brown (though color is not the always reliable) is Hypomma cornutum: http://srs.britishspiders.org.uk/portal.php/p/Summary/s/Hypomma+cornutum

And there’s also Hypomma fulvum but it looks like that has more of a Southern range:
