Interesting. "Wednesday week" is fairly common in the southern U.S. I didn't realize that it was used in BE.

I live in the southeastern US and have never heard that expression in my life. Strange.

Is it just "Wednesday week"? Can we say "Monday week" as well?

In BrE, the paraphrase of "Wednesday week" would be "a week on Wednesday". "A week from Wednesday" does not occur in BrE. And "today morning" is indeed common in Indian English.
