Part of Greater London? Ha - indeed! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hayes

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

'part of greater london?' is the definition.
'hayes' can be an answer for 'part' (I have seen 'Part of Hillingdon ' mean 'hayes' so perhaps 'part' could also mean 'hayes'). I'm not certain of the 'of greater london?' bit.

'ha indeed' is the wordplay.
'indeed' becomes 'yes' (agreeing).
'ha'+'yes'='HAYES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hayes that I've seen before include "Part of Hillingdon" , "Location in Middlesex" , "part of London" , "Former US President" , "West London town; ah, yes (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
