Since you are looking for territories named British XYZ, below is a non-comprehensive list of these, ordered by distance (feel free to add more territories). All distances were measured using the Daft Logic Distance Calculator, using the search string United Kingdom as a starting point for calculations.
- New Britain (Connecticut, USA): 5102.123km
- New Britain (Pennsylvania, USA): 5353.193km
- British Virgin Islands: 6533.172km
- British Columbia: 6865.846km
- British Indian Ocean Territory: 9810.779km
- New Britain (Papua New Guinea): 14054.549km
- British Antarctic Territory: 15075.884km (computed by pinpointing a region roughly at the centre of mass of the territory)
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.
