Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 1, 1932.
The arms incorporate the emblems which appeared on the seal of the former UDC, which displayed the figures of St. Nicholas in reference to the dedication of the parish church, together with three seaxes from the arms of the County Council. The blue waves, like those on the supporters, represent the River Brent and the Borough's situation beside the River Thames.
The phoenix represents the new Borough rising from the ashes of the old Urban District.
The griffins appear to have no historical significance.
