spurn

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

'reject from london club' is the definition.
'spurn' can be an answer for 'reject' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'from london club' bit.

'final change of direction' is the wordplay.
'final change of' becomes 'spur' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'direction' becomes 'n' (N is an example).
'spur'+'n'='SPURN'

'having' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spurn that I've seen before include "Treat with contempt" , "Contemptuously dismiss" , "turn away" , "Slight" , "Show contempt for" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
