Depends on the era. In the 1700's Redcoats and "lobsterbacks" were two of the most popular and common. In WW1 they were called Tommies after Thomas Atkins (the specimen soldier) Today they are called Squaddies
Tommies or Tommy Atkins - a slang for a British soldier in the First World War.

Another nickname, especially in earlier times, was redcoats.

A third ( derogatory) nickname was that of "lobsters".
