You’re looking for somewhere near the antipode of Great Britain, which is closest to New Zealand. It’s hard to tell without looking at a detailed map, but the Chatham Islands are quite far from several places named “Chatham” in the UK.
New Zealand is full of nearby places with UK-derived names: Christchurch, Canterbury, Dunedin, even a rural intersection called Charing Cross.
