The local authority is Greenwich Council, which meets at Woolwich Town Hall and has its main offices at the adjoining Woolwich Centre.

Shaped like an astrolabe, the 18-carat gold badge on the mayor's chain depicts the [[time-ball]] on the principal building of the old Greenwich Royal Observatory, the [[Prime Meridian|meridian line]], and lines of latitude and longitude. The ‘time-ball’ is set with small rubies.
