Best Answer

Yes the Olympic Games was held in London in 1948, it was nicknamed the Austerity Games because after the war Britain was still on food rationing. There was no Olympic village, the contestants stayed in wartime barracks. The Americans brought their own food. You can see the opening ceremony if you Google 1948 Olympic Games.
