I'm Irish, and hence speak Hiberno-English. Here is a photograph of some sliced bread:
The topmost slice of this (that's crust on the end), is called "the heel". Is this meaning for "heel" understood in British English?

Further to what others have said, I (growing up in London and York) was familiar with heel to mean that slice, but it wasn’t common — the usual term for that slice was the crust. (So crust had a dual meaning for us — both the outside of the bread in general, and the slice at either end that consists mostly of crust.)
