London lockup (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gaol

'london lockup' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gaol that I've seen before include "The Ballad of Reading -- (Wilde)" , "stir" , "Alternative to jail" , "Prison (British spelling)" , "See 1" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the Newsday.
