SURBITON
Incorporated into: 1965 Kingston-upon-Thames
Official blazon

Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 17, 1936.
The elm tree alludes to Elmbridge Hundred in which the place lay and the rising sun refers to the elevation to borough status at the time of the grant.
The Lion of St. Mark was used as a device by the former Urban District Council and Improvement Commissioners and the bridge symbolizes the railway, to which Surbiton owes its development. It also with the elm tree is recalls the Hundred.
The stags are from the arms of Coutts, the bankers, benefactors of the town.
