There are a few species of spider in Britain that can give a painful bite. The Raft Spider (aka Water Spider) Dysdera Crocata, Tegenaria Agrestis aka Yard Spider (bites only reported in N.America), Mouse Spider, Huntsman Spider, and the Sac Spider are the most likely to bite if mishandled. In fact most British Spiders have the ability to give a painful bite but are rarely dangerous. As far as I know, no fatalities from British spider bites have ever occurred but someone please correct this answer if I'm wrong. It should also be noted that there are a number of foreign "invaders" that have taken up residence that can give a very dangerous bite indeed, the Sydney Funnel Web spider along with scorpions have been found thriving in the London dock area. The Wasp Spider, previously only seen on the continent, is thriving in dorset and steadily spreading to other counties. Its bite though quite painful isn't thought to be dangerous.

∙ 15y agoPerhaps some 350 species of some 40,000 total spider species are not venomous. That means almost all spiders are venomous. But most of them pose no threat to humans. It is the families Uloboridae and Holarchaeidae, and spiders in the suborder Mesothelae that aren't venomous. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on spiders.

∙ 14y agoAll British spiders are poisonous - spiders feed by injecting venom into prey, then sucking out the liquified innards. However no native British spider is considered dangerous to humans, their venom is not strong enough.

However imports from foreign countries carry the occassional stow-away. Because of Britains climate these spiders do not adapt well to our weather etc, hence spiders like the Australian brown recluse cant survive for long in the UK.
Another issue is the same as black scorpions, they arrived via cargo and eventually became non posionous.
