In 1981, the United Kingdom decided to change the name of the remaining Crown Colonies to British Dependent Territories. In 2002, the UK again changed the name to British Overseas Territories.
Here is a list of British Overseas Territories:
Akrotiri and Dhekelia (On Cyprus, a former and now independent colony)
Anguilla
Bermuda
British Antarctic Territory
British Indian Ocean Territory
British Virgin Islands
Gibraltar
Montserrat
Pitcarin Islands
Saint Helena & Ascention Islands
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
Turks and Caicos
Here is a list of Overseas territories that were once their own colony:
Anguilla
Bermuda
Falkland Islands
Gibraltar
Note: A reason some Overseas territories (Turks & Caicos, St. Helena) were never colonies is because they were too small to be their own government.
