Oscar regularly visited T S Eliot in capital (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oslo

'capital' is the definition.
(capital of Norway)

'oscar regularly visited t s eliot' is the wordplay.
'oscar' becomes 'O' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'regularly visited' means one should take alternating letters (letters are taken at regular intervals).
't'+'s'+'eliot'='tseliot'
The alternating letters of 'tseliot' are 'slo'.
'o'+'slo'='OSLO'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for oslo that I've seen before include "Capital often frozen" , "Norwegian city, formerly Kristiania" , "Nordic capital" , "Location" , "Norwegian capital" .)
