The City of London’s relationship with heraldry is a unique one, since it is home to the oldest civic arms of any town or city in the United Kingdom, and the oldest corporate arms still in use to this very day.
Each of the City’s many Livery Companies proudly displays their arms in an array of heraldry that blends the old with the new from heraldic banners to social media avatars.
Heraldry in the City of London is at once spectacularly ancient and ultra modern with more new Arms, Badges, Standards and Supporters granted to the Livery Companies in the past 100 years than in the preceding 500 years.
