Parts of Poplar East? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

areas

'parts' is the definition.
(area is a kind of part)

'of poplar east?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'AREAS' can be found hidden inside 'poplar east'.

(Other definitions for areas that I've seen before include "Zones" , "Localities" , "Geographical regions" , "Spaces covered by two-dimensional surfaces" , "Places" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
