Origin/meaning

The arms were recorded in 1572, and regranted on March 7, 1966. The crest and supporters were added in 1966.

The crest was previously used by the Borough of Malden and Coombe, with that Borough's arms hung from the neck of the stag. The shield is based on the arms of Merton College, Oxford, historic owners of the area. The stag is for Richmond Park.

The supporters were used by the Borough of Surbiton, with the borough's arms hanging from the neck. The small shield shows an elm tree, for the Hundred of Elmbridge. The stags were used by the Coutts family.

The compartment has waves along its base, showing Kingston's situation on the Thames.
