Chinese capital’s old name (6)

I believe the answer is:

peking

(Other definitions for peking that I've seen before include "Former English name of Beijing" , "Former name of Chinese city" , "old capital" , "Chinese city formerly" , "It's now known as Beijing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
