The SVG code is valid.
 
This flag was created with Adobe Illustrator.

The flag is known to incorporate a badge design created by London's College of Arms and is used in conjunction with a black cross (derived from the city's Coat of Arms) on a gold background. The badge design was born out of the symbolism found in the city’s Coat of Arms; a dolphin naiant (meaning to swim horizontally) on the sail of a ship (lymphad or galley)—both found on the city’s Coat of Arms. The ship also includes the St George Cross multiple times as well as oars out to the side.
