1:Female Gibbaranea gibbosa (not sure on this one? can't see all the eyes  it could be Araneus angulatus but I can't tell from this photo and you're a bit too far north for it - need a second opinion on this one.)
2:Female Larinioides cornutus
3:Male Philodromus spp Running crab spider (very hard to id without close ups of palps)
Nice photos too 
Better if they were top down

Better if they were top down | Thanks alot venger. So you would advise taking shots from above the spider when you say top down? |

Well to really aid in an ID you need, one from above, one from below and one from the side and a front on head shot would be good 
Thats unlikely to happen (as well as close up shots of the epigyne and palps) so we have to go with what we've got.
On some species (and in most cases) you cant give a 100% ID without a field lens or microscope.
So you can get to a family level but not to species (and a reasonable guess generally satisfies most people)
Oh and info on where in the UK you were when you took the shot would be good.
Ah you can wish ...
