Greatly admire the new road to central Harlesden (5)

I believe the answer is:

adore

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

'greatly admire' is the definition.
'adore' can be an answer for 'admire' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'greatly' bit.

'new road to central harlesden' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to central' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle of 'harlesden' is 'e'.
'road' with letters rearranged gives 'ador'.
'ador'+'e'='ADORE'

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adore that I've seen before include "Very much like" , "Love, worship" , "Worship, idolise" , "Love to distraction" , "Like a lot" .)
