These are surely exotic to UK. Commonly seen planted around but this year many of them very flush, fruiting and seeding. Anyone know the history of these?

Well, Fatshedera is a hybrid so I should have realised that it couldn't be a plant in fruit! The fruit does look so much like ivy (Hedera) which is what fixed the idea in my head.
On the other castor oil plant (Ricinus communis) is a tropical plant - I assume it wouldn't overwinter in London (although, the way things are going ....).
