The recovery of London and England took ten years. They had to rebuild, get employment for widows, returning servicemen, restore the economy and rebuild the stores of goods and resources. They were on rationing for ten years too.

Sunday, April 24, 1949. But there was such a rush on sweets shops that rationing had to be reimposed -- I'm not sure until when. Ashleigh Brilliant ashleigh@west.net
Yes, and the last items didn't come off rationing until 1954 - 9 years after the war ended.
Rationing restricted the amount of certain food products, gasoline, clothing and other things. Before the war there was no rationing, however, there was a depression. So many people said they ate better during the war since wages were up, jobs plentiful and food more available even with the restrictions. In England this was not the case because they had not recovered from the depression and the Germans repeatedly sunk supply ships. England had to stay on rationing for 10 years after the war.
Food rationing kept prices down. In fact, one of the main purposes of rationing by coupons was to prevent, or at least drastically limit, rationing by price. (Without rationing by coupons, shortages would have driven food prices sky high, and no government wants riots during a difficult war).
