These spiders appear to be in the genus Steatoda, which includes the species known collectively as false widow spiders - see http://wiki.britishspiders.org.uk/index.php5?title=False_Widow_Spiders
However, false widows are not nearly as dangerous as some articles in the tabloid press would have you believe...
