Not sure what this is (UK)

Saw this in the south of Britain, anyone know what it is? I can't say I've seen one before.

It's about an inch long.

I kind of think it's a cross between a Woodlouse and a Centipede

I think it is Oniscus asellus - The Shiny Woodlouse

I think it's either a Millipede similar to our Sigmaria, or it's a Lampyridae larvae.
It's kind of difficult to tell from the photographs, because I can't see the legs very well.

I would go with Lampyridae larva from what I can see.

I'd suppose it's some Silphidae (carrion beetle) larvae

Yes, this is a Silphidae larvae...
