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

Montserrat
Pitcairn Islands
Saint Helena & Ascension Islands
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
Turks and Caicos
Here is a list of Overseas territories that were once their own colony:
