Collection of 453 items including swords and bracelets will be at docklands museum

An astonishing late bronze age collection of swords, axes, spearheads and bracelets discovered in east London is to go on show in the capital next year.

Dubbed the "Havering hoard" after it was discovered in Rainham last year, the collection is composed of 453 items, together weighing more than 45kg, which date to between 800 and 900 BC. It is the third largest hoard unearthed in the UK - and the largest in London.
