It's a London –wood”, you know (3)
I believe the answer is:
ken

(Scottish term meaning to know)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ken that I've seen before include "Know; man's name" , "Understanding - boy's name" , "Identify; -- Livingstone" , "Notice" , "One's range of knowledge" .)
