Is going to southern lobby (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shall

'is going to' is the definition.

'southern lobby' is the wordplay.
'southern' becomes 's' (abbreviation).
'lobby' becomes 'hall' (synonyms).
's'+'hall'='SHALL'

(Other definitions for shall that I've seen before include "Will, must, is to" , "' - - We Dance?'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
