Planet Hollywood's opening in Slough (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marsh

'slough' is the definition.
(both can mean a swampy area)

'planet hollywood's opening' is the wordplay.
'planet' becomes 'mars' (Mars is a planet).
'opening' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'hollywoods' is 'h'.
'mars'+'h'='MARSH'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for marsh that I've seen before include "eg Romney" , "Fen" , "Low-lying wet land with grassy vegetation" , "Bog, swamp" , "Wet land; swamp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
