Name that plant

I bought a house, and it came with a (well-maintained) garden attached. I don't know what any of the plants are, so I took some photos and am hoping people can help me identify them. (They're all ornamental. I have never grown anything non-edible before, except a geranium which has yet to produce more than one flower.)

Description follows.

Description follows.

Description follows.

Description follows.
[IMAGE: Plant in terracotta pot with fuzzy light green leaves. A few white flowers remain but it's mostly fruiting.]
Description follows.

Description follows.

Does anyone recognise any of these? I live in London, UK, if that helps.
