Single cream in Britain is comparable to American half and half (and may also be called pouring cream), with between 10% and 12% fat.

Double cream is the British designation for super-rich cream — with 48% butterfat. By contrast, Heavy or whipping cream in the United States has between 30% and 40% butterfat. Light creams, or single cream in Britain, which average around 20% butterfat, are not as stable for cooking, are more prone to curdling in the presence of acids or high heat, and so are not called for as often in recipes.

single cream is cream with a fairly low fat content that will not whip.

In New Zealand it is ordinary whipping cream.
Apparently, we used to be able to buy double or heavy cream but can't any more.
