Item of luggage in taxi close to the Savoy? (7)
I believe the answer is:
cabbage
'savoy?' is the definition.
(savoy is a kind of cabbage)
'item of luggage in taxi close to the' is the wordplay.
'item of luggage' becomes 'bag' (I've seen this before).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'taxi' becomes 'cab' ('cab' can be a synonym of 'taxi').
'close to' says to take the final letters (the close/ending of).
The final letter of 'the' is 'e'.
'cab'+'e'='cabe'
'bag' going into 'cabe' is 'CABBAGE'.
(Other definitions for cabbage that I've seen before include "Leafy vegetable" , "Veg" , "A Brassica plant" , "Beg a cab for the strange vegetable" , "Variety of brassica" .)
