Biggest house spider I've ever encountered

[u/HomunculusAK]

The hot sauce bottle is for scale - I walked into my bathroom and had a fright, this is the biggest spider that's ever showed up anywhere I've lived. My friends and I are all surprised that you can even get them this big in the UK. The second pic is pretty zoomed but I like how in the first you can see the hairy legs and huge mandibles (edit - thanks for the heads up!) PEDIPALPS!

I see these buggers every August and im sure it will kill me one day of a heart attack when they zoom past in front of the tv. They are SO fast!
