Applaud bad actor somewhere in London (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clapham

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

'somewhere in london' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'applaud bad actor' is the wordplay.
'applaud' becomes 'clap' (synonyms).
'bad actor' becomes 'ham' (a ham is someone who overacts).
'clap'+'ham'='CLAPHAM'

Can you help me to learn more?

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