I used to grow these in abundance, they drop the leaves or you can gently tease them off whilst they are still healthy and fresh - if you gently push the leaf into gritty soil, so about half of the leaf is inserted it will grow into a replica of the parent plant.
After a while the main stems have just a few leaves left on them and can look a little jaded, so it is a good idea to start some new plants each year.
Not a garden plant, but you could put the pot out for 2 or 3 of the warmest months each summer.

In all honesty, don't know many cacti plants but it looks somewhat like a type of Sempervivum. Hope this helps
Not a cactus. Maybe echeveria? which won't be hardy in the UK
If Dave is right and It's a sempervivum it will be hardy
In the sticks near Peterborough
I think it is an Echeveria (Debbie or purple pearl?)or possibly a Graptopetalum which is related to the Echeveria. Not hardy.
