Living, as I do, reasonably close to Heathrow I'm always a bit careful if I
come across any spider I don't recognise, like the totally lime green one
that proceeded to hang down in front of my eyes whilst driving the 90. Not
been able to ID it yet.

Araneus cucurbitinus are common in trees and hedges and are bright
green

They are the size of a small garden (orb web spinning) spider and are
likely to try to absail their way out of trouble if stuck.
