tower of london

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

'old nick' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'do not wed fool or knight' is the wordplay.
'do' indicates an anagram (solvers must work out or 'do' the anagram puzzle).
'knight' becomes 'N' (chess abbreviation).
'not'+'wed'+'fool'+'or'='notwedfoolor'
'notwedfoolor' with letters rearranged gives 'toweroflondo'.
'toweroflondo'+'n'='TOWER OF LONDON'

'or' acts as a link.
