Don't forget the Glorious Revolution, in which a bad British monarch was replaced by Two good British Monarch. (The dual monarchy of William and Mary that is.) Though that could be considered more as a coup de main than a full fledged revolution
As for the War of 1812 (the bicentennial is next year), the take these days was that Britain won, but had no desire to retake the US because they figured it would be too much trouble, and the fact Britain was all worn out after the Napoleonic wars and just wanted to rest and recuperate.
