Despite charging £70 a visit, the My Medyk clinic in West London already has almost 6,000 Britons, including dancer Julie Mess (bottom right) on its books. Customers are welcomed into the spotless and modern centre. Radek Przypis (top), who manages the clinic said he realised there was 'a gap in the market because NHS care was so poor'.

Shanty town on a suburban London street: Romanians scrape a living amid squalor of dump
They could be scenes from the Third World as families eke out a living in makeshift shelters amid the filth of a dump - but this is north London. More than 50 Romanians are living among piles of rubbish on the site of the former Hendon Football Club grounds. The Transylvanian migrants say they earn more here than they do at home and are sending the money back to their families.
Final picture of young graduate, 23, and her Polish boyfriend shopping in supermarket just hours before he murdered her with help of his secret lover so they could claim £123,000 life insurance
Centre is the last known picture of Catherine Wells-Burr (also pictured left), 23, with her Polish boyfriend Rafal Nowak (top right). They were caught on supermarket CCTV hours before the 31-year-old smothered her to death as she slept at their newly-bought home in Chard, Somerset, in a plot hatched with his secret lover Anna Lagwinowicz (bottom right), 32, and her uncle, Tadevsz Dmytryszyn, 38. A jury at Bristol Crown Court today convicted Nowak, Lagwinowicz and Dmytryszyn of the Bath Spa University graduate's murder in September 2012.
EXCLUSIVE: Gang wearing full-length burkas caught on video running through Selfridges during smash-and-grab axe raid before getaway on scooters (partially foiled by a 'gentle giant' pizza waiter)
Stunned Khalid Samata captured the moment robbers wearing Islamic dress fled the scene, pictured centre, after axing their way into display cabinets in London's Selfridges department store. Two suspected robbers were pinned down by members of the public, pictured left, after their moped slipped over while turning a corner at speed in central London. The smash and grab raiders left a trail of destruction in their wake, pictured right, including smashed glass and expensive jewellery. Witnesses said the suspects dropped a duffle bag containing several watches that spilled out onto the street.

Welcoming in the sunshine: Festival-goers strip down to bikinis in warm weather with conditions set to remain good over weekend
Rockness, a musical extravaganza held on the shores of Loch Ness, was blessed with perfect weather, and attendees took full advantage of the conditions. However, while parts of the country saw temperatures as high as 25C (77F), others were hit with thundery showers as the weather ensured that it was not necessarily safe to leave the house with an umbrella. On the Isle of Wight, thunderstorms lashed down yesterday morning, less than a week before its famous annual festival, which is taking extra precautions to prevent a repeat of the quagmire of last year.
The Duke is 'not ill': Queen tours £1bn BBC centre alone and shrugs off remarks about Prince Philip’s health as he undergoes operation and is ‘progressing satisfactorily’
Buckingham Palace has confirmed the Duke of Edinburgh has had his operation and is making progress. Earlier the Queen (left) put on a brave face after being forced to arrive without her husband at the revamped Broadcasting House in central London, as he lay in hospital less than half a mile away. John Humphrys, the presenter of Radio 4's Today programme, asked how her husband was feeling (top right). 'I have no idea, he has only just gone in', she replied. Prince Philip is likely to be in hospital for two weeks. Without him by her side, The Queen made a live address to the nation (above centre). She also appeared in the background on the BBC News Channel (bottom right), with Twitter users jokingly calling it the 'greatest photobomb of all time' - a prank where a practical joker leaps into the background of a picture.
Head to toe in Muslim dress... Cherie's 'home-wrecking' sister steps out with her new husband
Muslim convert married Lauren Booth married Sohale Ahmed, in a Muslim ceremony earlier this year. But he is is said to be still legally wed under British law to Faiza Ahmed, his wife of 16 years. Mrs Ahmed has accused Miss Booth of stealing her husband after being invited into their home as a guest and dishonouring her new religion with brash, flirty behaviour.
