What you are looking for is called wholemeal flour.
Here's a quick US to UK baking translation guide. US on the left, UK on the right:
- All-purpose flour = plain flour
- bread flour = strong flour (both have extra gluten)
- whole wheat flour = wholemeal flour
- 1 stick of butter is 113g (get a scale, trust me)
- 1 large egg = 1 medium egg

doh. I had the rest, but was missing 'wholemeal' in the list of translations – Joe Sep 26 '16 at 16:16
