1948 Summer Olympics - Olympic Village

Male athletes of the Korean team talking with their hostel manager, in the background are three wardrobes and two flags (including the South Korean flag), in their accommodation at an RAF camp in Uxbridge, London, England, July 1948. Dubbed the 'Austerity Games', it was deemed too expensive to build an Olympic Village, so the 1948 Summer Olympics utilised existing accommodation, with male competitors staying at RAF camps in Uxbridge and West Drayton, and an army camp in Richmond Park, while female athletes were housed in London colleges.
