sounds like silverfish...tend to like living in the joins between floor and wall, and vertical corners.
Harmless...should not be too many of them...they seem solitary creatures to me.
I just squash them when I see them, which is not very often.

Wipe the areas down with lemon juice or use a lavendar fresh air spray if they are silverfish.

Silverfish are not dangerous and often found in bathrooms as they like humidity.
We used to have a lot in UK too.
