Cleopatra, the alluring Queen of Egypt, has bewitched the great Mark Antony, soldier, campaigner and now one of the three rulers of the Roman Empire. When Antony quarrels with his fellow leaders and throws in his lot with Cleopatra, his infatuation threatens to split the Empire in two.

London’s newest green space – made famous by the 2012 Olympic Games – comes alive with unique parkland, waterways, venues and attractions. Combine a trip to the park with a visit to Europe’s biggest shopping mall.
