Seen in Bournemouth. Is it just a garden spider?

This looks like Steatoda nobilis. Check out the wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steatoda_nobilis. Here is another picture http://tinyurl.com/37bmjmc .

Just bear in mind that this species, like many spiders and other arthropods, can show a good deal of individual variation in appearance. drrex appears to be right on with this i.d.
