"Lucky George" – Hotel Russell, Russell Square, Bloomsbury, London, England


George is the bronze dragon who sits atop the 2nd floor stairs of the Hotel Russell. Fitzroy Doll, architect for both Hotel Russell and RMS Titanic, had two dragons moulded. One went to Hotel Russell; the other is today 2.5 miles beneath sea level in the Atlantic Ocean aboard the remains of RMS Titanic. It’s considered good luck to rub "Lucky George’s" head!
