A family doctor who lives in London's exclusive Mayfair has sparked hundreds of protests by trying to open an all-night lap-dancing club.
Dr Imtiaz Sardar, 61, is behind the plan for scantily dressed women to perform for customers at the "adult entertainment" venue.
Companies House documents reveal that Timzia, the firm bidding to run the club at the Archway Tavern in Islington, North London, is owned by Dr Sardar, his wife Talat a doctor at the same practice and two of their relatives.
The documents also show that the business address of Timzia an anagram of Dr Sardar's first name is the same as that of his surgery in affluent Crouch End, also North London.
Now NHS chiefs are investigating the doctors' involvement.
Under plans submitted to Islington Council, dancing and drinking would take place from 9am to 5am, with customers charged an extra £20 for a "sensual" table-side performance.

oh great! this is right by where i live. i look at the archway tavern every morning when i'm waiting for the bus. if they're opened until 5am, that means i'll have some early morning entertainment in watching people stumble out of the tavern.
i secretly hope it's not going in. we really don't need stripper poles in archway. -
This reminds me of a story I saw online recently. A 32-year-old man was arrested after he left four kids in a cold car while he visited a strip club. A witness spotted the children -- ages 4, 6 and 7, as well as a 3-month-old baby -- asleep inside the car about 1 a.m. and called 911. It was about 35 degrees outside at the time.
"Stay in the car, kids, Daddy's just gonna go check out some strippers." -
Do you know what, though? At the risk of taking Dr Unpopular's side, I don't really see why the NHS have got a say in this. Pole-dancing is perfectly legal here and I don't imagine his club effects his abilities as a doctor. Just to make it clear, I've never been to a pole-dancing club and I don't plan on going - I just think he should have the right to pursue any legal interests that don't affect his medicinal practicings.
