London Boroughs
Each of the 32 London Boroughs is armigerous. In the case of one, Greenwich, a new coat of arms was obtained on acquiring "royal" status. In a number of cases the letters patent granting arms predate the borough council's coming into power on 1 April 1965. in these cases applications (or petitions to the Earl Marshall) had been made by the chairmen of the shadow London Borough Councils elected in 1964.
