Keep playing in part of London (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acton

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part of london' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'keep playing' is the wordplay.
'keep' becomes 'act' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'playing' becomes 'on' (on can mean playing or performing).
'act'+'on'='ACTON'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for acton that I've seen before include "Gladstone's adviser" , "London area" , "Respond in accordance with - London district" , "somewhere in London" , "part of London on the tube" .)
