Tegenaria gigantea.

This fella lives beneath an ornamental flag stone in the front garden. Big fella, about two inches across the leg span, maybe a bit more. I can expect him to survive a while too, as he seemed to be sharing his home area with just slugs, and a few dead remnants of his victims to date...
