City of London Flag - Official Symbol and Historical Meaning #1908432 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of the City of London consists of a red St. George’s Cross on a white background in the upper-left canton, with the remaining three quarters in gold (yellow), representing the City’s ancient status and independence. It is often flown alongside the Union Jack but signifies the jurisdiction and authority of the City of London Corporation, not the wider Greater London area. The design dates back to at least the 17th century and reflects the City’s medieval origins and royal charter privileges.
