This article takes a closer look at both the historical context and the political and economic orchestration of the Olympic Games in London – 1908, 1948 and 2012. By comparing the three events, a number of differences and game specific circumstances are demonstrated. On this basis the article concludes with a discussion of the status of the three London Games within the overall history of the Modern Olympics.
