'return to' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'leave the house for me' is the wordplay.
'leave' becomes 'go'.
'the house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'go'+'ho'+'me'='GO HOME'

'to' is the link.

(Another definition for go home that I've seen is " Hit target".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
