Bye! Supporter leaving palace in London area (6)
I believe the answer is:
balham
'london area' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer. I also know that 'london' relates to this answer.
'bye supporter leaving palace' is the wordplay.
'bye' becomes 'b'.
'supporter' becomes 'bra' (a bra gives support to breasts).
'leaving' suggests deleting specific letters.
'palace' becomes 'Alhambra' (palace in Spain).
'alhambra' with 'bra' taken away is 'alham'.
'b'+'alham'='BALHAM'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for balham that I've seen before include "London suburb" , "6D 5A [TUBE STATION]" .)
