Hi Patrolling,
Welcome to the forum.
This is the Jersey Tiger moth, Euplagia quadripunctaria.

A nice find ...
Kind regards. Mark

It's a Jersey Tiger Moth (Euplagia quadripunctaria). It'd be interesting to know where you saw it. There is, apparently, a population in London.

Managed to find another one of these on my lawn today, ended up picking it up and holding it right up to my eyes and had a good look!
