Photographed at Scatsta Airport these spiders are everywhere around the Airport buildings. Anybody got a name for them. They are well fed on Kelp Flies Coelopa frigida which are attracted to the Security and window lights.

It's
Zygiella x-notata, very typical on buildings (as you say) at this time of the year. The webs are easy to tell too as they tend to have a segment missing and the signal line (which runs from the web to the spiders retreat) running through the gap.
