One of a pair any Londoner can accommodate (5)

I believe the answer is:

nylon

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

'one of a pair' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'any londoner can accommodate' is the wordplay.
'accommodate' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'accommodates' mean this).
'NYLON' is hidden in the letters of 'any londoner can'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nylon that I've seen before include "may be damaged by running" , "Strong, resilient, synthetic fibre" , "Plastic used for stockings" , "Artific ial (stocking) material" , "Fabric (originally from New York and London)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
