Can anyone recommend a good legume for growth in a polytunnel (Shropshire, UK)?

We've had a green climbing french bean plant in the polytunnel this year - there wasn't space for it outside - and it has done incredibly well. They are self-pollinating so it won't have been affected by the doors needing to be closed at times. We've grown dwarf french beas in there before now too and they were also very successful.

I did some early mangetout in my tunnel this year, sown mid Feb, and had an excellent crop from them.

I used Kalvedon in my PT this year and got a good crop about 4 weeks earlier than the outdoor ones.  I find the shorter varieties work better in the PT. :)
