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.

The country that holds this distinction is England having held three Olympic Games in the capital London. The United States are first holding a total of eight games, four winter and four summer. However England could be seen to be first not second if you consider that they are the only country to hold all three games in the same city.
yes it is the first time it has been hold in London. No! It is not the first time that the Olympic Games have been held in London. They have been held in the English capital twice before - 1948 and before that in 1908. The third time it was held in London was this year - 2012, thus making it the only city to have held the games three times.
