Afternoon James, and welcome to WAB

It looks like a dark Common Garden Spider, Araneus diadematus in Latin, to me. Very common across the UK.

Take care,

Jason

[No.9 Spider]

This does look like Araneus diadematus, though has a conspicuous amount of white pigment outside the folium and is very light on the carapace. Possibly it is a recently moulted specimen and the pigment may darken? Certainly the look of the legs (almost translucent) and carapace indicate to me that she is recently moulted.
A. diadematus is very variable in colour and even the epigynes are variable across a number of regions as I recall.
