diocese

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

'london?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'do ice dancing near south east' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'near' says to put letters next to each other.
'south east' becomes 'SE' (abbreviation).
'do'+'ice'='doice'
'doice' with letters rearranged gives 'dioce'.
'dioce'+'se'='DIOCESE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for diocese that I've seen before include "District under care of bishop" , "Area under bishop" , "Ecclesiastical see" , "Jurisdiction of a bishop" , "Bishopric" .)
