Odd clanks affected area of London (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

docklands

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'area of london' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'odd clanks affected' is the wordplay.
'affected' indicates an anagram.
'odd'+'clanks'='oddclanks'
'oddclanks' is an anagram of 'DOCKLANDS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for docklands that I've seen before include "E. London area" , "part of London" , "Redeveloped east London area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
