Yes, it is 50 years today since the map of London was redrawn.
Borough's were merged and others became parts of Greater London, Bexley and Bromley for example.
Greenwich and Woolwich were merged and the new Borough was nearly called Charlton.
And we might have stuck with this badge

Interesting how much of what is now considered London was in the home counties

Anyone know why there are two pockets of London separated from the rest of London by bits of Essex and the Thames?
The badge and Motto were both the borough's rather that the clubs.
The adopted it very briefly in the 1960s but then the boroughs changed so they looked for a new badge and nickname.
