London suburb — hotel area of course (5)
I believe the answer is:
hayes
'london suburb' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'hotel area of course' is the wordplay.
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'of course' becomes 'yes' (I've seen this before).
'h'+'a'+'yes'='HAYES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hayes that I've seen before include "Location in Middlesex" , "Former US President" , "Place in Middlesex" , "West London town; ah, yes (anag.)" , "part of London" .)
