It looks like a Southern House Spider or Black House Spider? But those can’t be it since neither are from the UK… Hope you figure it out! I’m curious.
It looks like it is in family Agelenidae https://spiderid.com/spider/agelenidae/ The World Spider Catalog (online) is a useful resource for finding the primary ranges of different spider taxons. Someone added the info from the Catalog to the Wikipedia articles on specific spider taxons.
My guess is Amaurobius ferox.
