I was in my garden today, and lifted a pot, and underneath there were about 10 - 20 small round eggs (pearl coloured and abour 3mm dia).

What are these? are they good or bad to have in the garden?

The garden is quite small, and in South East London

Snails.

Toads lay their eggs in water - like frogspawn but in long ribbons 1-2
eggs wide.

Had a look at the site, and I would have to say they are snails eggs by the look of them....

Think I'll get rid of them now. Thanks for the posting..

These would be snails eggs, toad eggs would be in long lines in your pond if
you are lucky enough to have any!! (& they would be there in spring.)
