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

'london' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'colonel sums up the answer between points' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'colonel' could be 'col' and 'col' is located in the answer.
'points' could be 'ns' (N is an example) and 'ns' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
