Create a coat of arms for each different area of London: The North, East, South and West. I wanted to find out the common stereotypes of the different areas of London and so I asked a few people and these are the words that cropped up the most frequent.
London
City of London - Money, Banks, Bonuses, Suits
West End - Tourists, Expensive, Crowded, Nightlife
North London - Liberal, Leafy, Intellectual, Left-wing but wealthy, Jewish, Turkish
East London - Poor, 'Ironically' trendy, home of white working class, gangster films, a certain soap opera
South London - Suburban, bad connections, gangs
West London - Rich, conservative, Indian
COLORS
Even the colors can have special meaning in a "family crest" or coat of arms:
Gold (Or)
Generosity and elevation of the mind
Silver or White (Argent)
Peace and sincerity
Red (Gules)
Warrior or martyr; Military strength and magnanimity
Blue (Azure)
Truth and loyalty
Green (Vert)
Hope, joy, and loyalty in love
Black (Sable)
Constancy or grief
Purple (Purpure)
Royal majesty, sovereignty, and justice
Orange (Tawny or Tenne)
Worthy ambition
Maroon (Sanguine or Murray)
Patient in battle, and yet victorious
