From London or thereabouts, towards Leeds? (5)
I believe the answer is:
north
'leeds?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'from london or thereabouts towards' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'NORTH' can be found hidden inside 'london or thereabouts towards'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for north that I've seen before include "He let America go" , "A quarter" , "Top of most maps" , "coming up from Brighton?" , "British statesman" .)
