Girl from Colindale (5)

I believe the answer is:

linda

'girl' is the definition.

'from colindale' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'LINDA' can be found hidden inside 'colindale'.

(Other definitions for linda that I've seen before include "- Ronstadt, US singer" , "girl" , "23 [LOVELACE]" , "-- Gray, 'Dallas' star" , "lady" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
