Approached destiny round table environs (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

camelot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'round table environs' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'approached destiny' is the wordplay.
'approached' becomes 'came' (come can mean to approach or get closer).
'destiny' becomes 'lot' (I've seen this in another clue).
'came'+'lot'='CAMELOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for camelot that I've seen before include "King Arthur's kingdom - or JFK's" , "royal court" , "King Arthur's capital" , "Fabulous city" , "King Arthur's court - or JFK's" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
