That second spider looks like an Amaurobius similis, I found loads last week when emptying a compost bin.

I agree on number 2, there's posts everywhere about these right now! There must have been a nationwide population explosion of these guys.

I can't find that exact one
 but I guess with more than 4000 species of beetle in the UK alone, it's not surprising

The ground beetle looks like a Pterostichus species. I've got loads of them in my garden, that look just like yours. I once caught 26 in one night in a pitfall trap.
