because there was a big earth quake in athens No that is not correct; there WAS an unofficial games in 1906 although at the time the IOC said they were official but in recent years has backed off. The games were intended as an chance for all the athletes to go back to Greece in between the regular games but the ones scheduled for 1910 never took place because of political problems in the country.

Will London be the first to host the olympic games three times in a row?

If that means three times successively, then the only city which could claim that would be Olympia, for about 200 olympiads of the ancient games. If you mean has London held them three times, then yes and no. London - 1908, 1948 and 2012, to be sure, but Athens held them in 1896, 1906 and 2000. However, the International Olympic Committee (years later) decided not to recognise the 1906 games as 'official.' Athletes who competed have been denied Olympic status and their medals also not recognised.
