Decadent place has honey left over (7)

I believe the answer is:

babylon

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

'decadent place' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'has honey left over' is the wordplay.
'has honey' becomes 'baby' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'over' becomes 'on' (physically on top of).
'baby'+'l'+'on'='BABYLON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for babylon that I've seen before include "Ancient Mesopotamian city" , "City noted for wealth and wickedness in Bible" , "Site of hanging gardens" , "Bony lab found in the ancient city" , "Sin City of the Bible" .)
