Can someone identify this leaf like looking bug?

I found this bug in my house in London during September. It reminds me perhaps of a beetle? But i am not sure. It camoflages really well as a leaf too. Can someone help me to identfy it?

Hi,
this is a shield bug. Possibly the Hawthorn Shieldbug, Acanthosoma haemorrhoidale.
