| Following suggestions in 2020 from the now Deputy Mayor for Housing, Tom Copley, that the GLA should request permission to use the GLC’s coat of arms, it’s been a low-burning issue. However, it was revived earlier this year when the Mayor of London authorised a petition to His Majesty the King for permission to use the coat of arms.His Majesty The KING has been graciously pleased by Warrant under His Royal Signet and Sign Manual bearing date 13 November 2025 to give and grant His Royal Licence and Authority that the Greater London Authority may bear and use the Arms granted and assigned on 1 September 1965 unto the Greater London Council and the Badge granted and assigned on 5 October 1966 unto the said Council the said Armorial Ensigns being first duly exemplified according to the Laws of Arms and recorded in His Majesty’s College of Arms: otherwise the said Royal Licence and Permission to be void and of none effect.As use of the coat of arms is a controlled matter, if anyone were thinking of slapping it on some souvenirs to sell, they would need permission from the GLA to do so. If they went ahead without permission, then the GLA could appeal to the High Court of Chivalry to have the miscreant stopped from doing so. -- ???????? | |||
