Is it called London Pride ( (Saxifraga)?
Is it a variety of aeonium http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeonium

Thank you - I'll go and look those suggestions up.
Not London,s Pride. Some sort of sedum, the type that you can grow on a roof
No, don't think they're houseleeks - sempervivum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sempervivum, which I used to have a collection of - the 'leaves' don't look right for them to me.
I thought they looked more like http://www.thesucculentgarden.com.au/echev.html echevaria, but still not looking quite right to me - then I thought they looked more like a type of Aeonium http://www.thesucculentgarden.com.au/aeoni.html#thumb

Definately a saxifrage called London Pride which reminds me i dont know what has happened to mine.
I don't think it's London Pride http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=1798 as the leaf edges are smooth whereas the saxifraga has tooth-like indentations.
