Yes, London has staged the Olympics three times before.

Twice Before!!

Yes, sorry, as above, twice. London hosted the games in 1908 and they were supposed to host them again in 1944 but because of the war it was postponed and they hosted the games in 1948 instead.

Three times in fact."Much Wenlock also has an importance that belies its size, for it was here that the modern Olympics were revived in 1850 by the town doctor, William Penny Brookes, as an antidote to the local men's drinking"

So once in Much Wenlock and twice in London
