Crossword Genius

Jolly good city like London (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

capital

This clue is a triple definition!

'jolly good' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'city' is the second definition.
(capital is a kind of city)

'like' is a link.

'london' is the third definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for capital that I've seen before include "Metropolis" , "Topping" , "A big letter, or a big city" , "city such as London" , "Cardiff, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
