Inn some time occupied by cabbies (7)
I believe the answer is:
auberge
'inn' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'some time occupied by cabbies' is the wordplay.
'some time' becomes 'age' (age is a kind of time).
'occupied by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cabbies' becomes 'uber' (Uber is a taxi cab company).
'age' placed around 'uber' is 'AUBERGE'.
(Other definitions for auberge that I've seen before include "Local" , "Continental inn" , "restaurant" , "(French) inn or tavern" , "Hotel" .)
