Coat of Arms
St Giles, St George and St Andrew were depicted on the borough seal. The several constituent parishes were illustrated in the arms granted to Holborn in 1906, while the supporters, the Lion and the Griffin are from the arms of Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn (Inns of Court).
Several of the street name signs in the British Museum/Senate House area still bear the "Borough of Holborn" area designation.
Holborn Town Hall still exists, on High Holborn.
