That is just a proper word wikipedia used (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_units) to describe it, "British Imperial" meaning the same as what we know as the English measurement system.
There is only one unit of measurement known as a foot that I'm aware of, though as you mentioned there's something called a nautical mile and I don't know much about measurement systems besides English and Metric.
