Rationing in the UK lasted from 1939 till 1954. For some reasons bananas stayed rationed for a few months longer that other things. I thought coal rationing lasted until the late 60's Coal was never rationed in the UK, even in World War 2.
In the UK, virtually everything.

On the eve of the end of rationing in Britain July 1954 the following were still rationed: *Meat (most kinds) *Most other edible animal products, such as milk, cheese and butter *Chocolate and sweets (candy) *Tea and coffee
some items, such as suger, was rationed to about 1947
Bread was continued to be rationed in Europe and the UK after the war was over. The US and Canada were supplying the bread for many nations and people. They had to distribute it fairly and equally so rationing was still in place for bread and most foods.
The last item to be rationed in the UK was clothing, which continued until 1974. Rationing began during World War II and was implemented to manage shortages of various goods. The phased removal of rationing started in the 1950s, with food items being the first to be fully de-rationed. Clothing rationing remained in place longer due to ongoing economic challenges and the need to stabilize the supply.
The last item to come off rationing in the UK after World War II was sweets, which were finally fully de-rationed on February 5, 1971. Rationing in the UK began in 1940 due to wartime shortages and continued for many years even after the war ended in 1945. Other items like meat, butter, and cheese had been de-rationed earlier, but sweets remained restricted longer due to their scarcity.
