Found this at home in England. I moved to England from Hong Kong not long ago, so I'm not familiar with local spiders at all. Maybe it's very common?

When I was living in the UK (moved from the Czech Republic) I was shocked how big the spiders get. I believe it's cause of the humidity. It was common to see spiders like this in the size of my hand. They are harmless, but it took me some getting used to. Later on we "befriended" some of them and kept trowing them flies. I miss Matylda. 😅

Didn't know big spiders is a thing here. I thought only Australia has these... But I guess this one is still tiny in Australia standard.
