Nick takes tea in South Leatherhead (5)
I believe the answer is:
steal
'nick' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'tea in south leatherhead' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'south' becomes 's' ('S' can be a synonym of 'south').
'leatherhead' becomes 'l' (head letter of 'leather').
's'+'l'='sl'
'tea' going inside 'sl' is 'STEAL'.
'takes' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for steal that I've seen before include "Filch" , "Shoplift" , "Thieve" , "bag" , "Take unlawfully" .)
