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

'what oblivious theatregoer may do' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'part of london' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'part' could be 'lap' (lap is a kind of part) and 'lap' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cham' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for clapham that I've seen is " London area".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
