The coat of arms of Greater London is that belonging to the Greater London Authority, the strategic authority for Greater London. The upper third of the coat of arms contains a gold "Saxon" crown on a red field, and the lower two-thirds contain alternating blue and white wavy lines. These elements refer respectively to the Saxon origins of London and to its position on the River Thames. The arms were originally created in 1965, when they were granted by the College of Arms to the Greater London Council, the top-tier local authority for Greater London. When the council was abolished in 1986 the arms became defunct, however in 2025 they were transferred to the Greater London Authority.
