In the same way that the Local Government Act 1899 had given the City of London the same powers and responsibilities as a Metropolitan Borough the 1963 Act gave the City the same powers and responsibilities as a London Borough (on both occasions in addition to the City's various other powers and responsibilities).<br /><br />The London Assembly is not an executive body, it does not govern anywhere or anything. Greater London is governed by the 32 boroughs and the City of London. The Mayor of London is responsible for public transport, fire and rescue services and strategic planning (zoning) throughout Greater London and policing in the 32 boroughs.The Grim Reaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369913438808659085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307753471067110646.post-25387004175254422442014-12-15T12:13:38.717-08:002014-12-15T12:13:38.717-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326492761013192857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307753471067110646.post-27061027858498253082014-02-02T14:21:51.313-08:002014-02-02T14:21:51.313-08:00In the UK (minus Scotland) the College of Arms is ...In the UK (minus Scotland) the College of Arms is the official body responsible for granting coats of arms, you could approach them however a new grant of arms is expensive to say the least. You probably (emphasise probably) could adopt an original design, however official terminology for that case would probably be "heraldic design" rather than coat of arms (as it won't have an official grant). Many of the individual London boroughs have their own coat of arms you may be able to use the relevant one for a club logo?

I am Chairman of a London based club and am looking for a coat of arms to have in one corner of our logo and it has to represent London which, as you rightly say, doesn't exist. Perhaps you should approach Boris ?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373063275428326063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307753471067110646.post-33371462638555445372014-01-29T18:18:47.071-08:002014-01-29T18:18:47.071-08:00Indeed.

I think the Saxon crown (present, for example, in former Middlesex coat of arms), could be a nice add, but one can wonder if Saxon crown and porticullis could be combined in fitting way.Leonardo Piccionihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280840758558786698noreply@blogger.com
