I'm not sure you can definitely call it litoralis, even though it is the commonest of the British Paederus. According to Joy litoralis has a thorax & elytra that are broader than long, which doesn't seem the case here. It may be more likely P. fuscipes, whose elytra are longer than broad, or possibly riparius, which has quadrate (length & breadth the same) elytra.
