Set in the heart of Soho and conveniently located near the great theatres of London, L’Escargot has been at the epicentre of London life for almost a century. It has regularly been voted one of the best restaurants in London and is famous for its bourgeois French cooking. Snails, not surprisingly are a speciality of the house; the menu changes seasonally and centres on your French favourites including Lobster bisque, Beef Bourguignon, and Coq au Vin. There is an excellent wine list with many reasonably priced bottles. L’Escargot is one of the top restaurants in Soho and has been host to stars of stage and screen for many years. Previous clients include Mick Jagger, Elton John, Mumford & Sons, The Vaccines, Bastille, Georgia May Jagger and Sam Smith.

Declan Murphy became one of the most brilliant jockeys of the 90's, before his world came crashing down at the final hurdle of a race at Haydock Park. His skull shattered in twelve places, he was believed to be dead. Whilst the last rites were read and his obituary was published in the Racing Post, Declan performed the unimaginable. He survived.

Defying medical thinking, he recovered to the extent that eighteen months after his fall, he was able to saddle up for one more race. As usual he won.

Declan's book Centaur was published in May last year.

The is a fascinating opportunity to hear his incredible story.
