Looks like genus Eratigena sp., probably E. atrica (I think atrica is still used in the UK). Known as the Giant House Spider.

E. duellica/saeva … those name changes are international. It was a recent update so lot of websites just haven’t caught up yet. E. atrica is less common and I think a little different looking but a possibility too, they’re all very similar. E. duellica and E. saeva are close enough that they can hybridize.

Good to know, everything I normally check hasn’t yet updated, thanks ItsyBitsy!
