Crossword Genius

He has to live at central Greenwich (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ben

'he' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'live at central greenwich' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'central' says to take the centre.
The centre of 'greenwich' is 'n'.
'be'+'n'='BEN'

'has to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ben that I've seen before include "inner room in Oban, say" , "Battle" , "Mountain; man's name" , "Big . . . is a famous London clock-tower" , "Tropical tree" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
