How far can I be from Britain and be in "British X"?
This is a just for fun question.
I'm studying in British Columbia, Canada, which is quite far away from Great Britain proper: 4,190 miles (6743 km) to be exact.
I'm wondering, though, how far could I be from Britain and be somewhere called "British X"? For example, British Virgin Islands.
I'll accept other regional terms from the UK, like New South Wales, or unofficial regions like New England.
Best Answer
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.
