Oops...I think I've got some here. One's been in my garden room for several years (or its descendants have) and this year I've noticed one on the ceiling of the kids play room! My two and a half year old daughter loves them.

 

I have an insect book (Collins pocket guide, Insects of Britain and Western Europe) with the usual non-insect section at the back and I thought I'd found it there as steatodea paykulliana. It says "Female bite said to be poisonous to humans." However, I've just looked it up on t'internet and that species isn't found in UK but is close relative of false widow...so mine must be false widow.

 

I think I'd better move them!
