Looks like Steatoda nobilis, one of the False Widows. It is known to be capable of biting so treat with respect  .
Where are you in the country, assumedly down South?

Yes I live in the south west down in cornwall.
Didn't know we had spiders that could bite in this country! |

hello all.
I've taken a photograph of a white spider in our garden making a meal of a bee (I think). Has anyone got a clue what type of spider is it? I've never seen anything like it!
The link below is to a photograph on my Flickr site, any information greatly received.
best wishes,
