Pieces of land in Lisle Street (5)
I believe the answer is:
isles
'pieces of land' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both natural objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'in lisle street' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ISLES' can be found hidden inside 'lisle street'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for isles that I've seen before include "Archipelago" , "Hebrides, perhaps" , "eg The Hebrides" , "eg the Scillies" , "Eyots" .)
