    Not an Arachnologist (but I am a fan of all spiders) but that does look like yer common Giant House Spider (Tegenaria duellica).

    It's September, the males comes in doors looking to get their (eight) legs over.

    Edit: I've just googled the images for False Widow and there's pics of about 10 different species!

    I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
