'in consequence' is the definition.
'result' can be an answer for 'consequence' (synonyms). I am unsure of the 'in' bit.

'others turn left to enter' is the wordplay.
'others' becomes 'rest' (eg the rest of a group).
'turn' becomes 'u' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'to enter' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'u'+'l'='ul'
'rest' enclosing 'ul' is 'RESULT'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for result that I've seen before include "Consequence in Ulster (6)" , "Effect of lustre" , "'Outcome, consequence (6)'" , "Final score" , "Verdict" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
