George John Vulliamy

George John Vulliamy (19 May 1817 – 1886) was a British architect who designed some buildings in Victoria Street London, several fire-brigade stations, the pedestal and sphinxes for Cleopatra's Needle on the Thames Embankment, and the sturgeon lamp posts (colloquially "dolphin lamp posts") that line the embankment.

He was admitted to Westminster School on 13 February 1826, and on leaving was articled to Messrs. Joseph Bramah & Son, engineers, in 1833.

While travelling he was employed by Henry Gally Knight to make drawings for his work on the Ecclesiastical Architecture of Italy, 1842–4.

Returning to England in 1843, he commenced practising as an architect, and subsequently assisted his uncle, Lewis Vulliamy.

He designed for the board some buildings in Victoria Street, several fire-brigade stations, and the pedestal and sphinxes for Cleopatra's Needle on the embankment.
