In what year did rationing in Britain finally come to an end after World War II?

Rationing in Britain, which was introduced during World War II to manage food supplies and other essential goods, officially ended in 1954. This was a significant event in British history, marking the transition from a wartime economy to a more stable peacetime economy. The gradual lifting of rationing began in 1947, but various items continued to be rationed for years afterward. The final restrictions on certain goods were lifted in 1954, allowing citizens greater freedom in purchasing food and other items, and symbolizing the recovery of the nation after the hardships of the war.
