Radical university, a part of London (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chelsea

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

'part of london' is the definition.
'chelsea' can be an answer for 'part' (I have seen 'Part of Manhattan' mean 'chelsea' so perhaps 'part' could also mean 'chelsea'). I am not certain of the 'of london' bit.

'radical university a' is the wordplay.
'radical' becomes 'che' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'university' becomes 'lse' (London School of Economics).
'che'+'lse'+'a'='CHELSEA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chelsea that I've seen before include "Kind of bun that's flat" , "Bunny" , "Part of Manhattan" , "Barracks here" , "Where you might get buns" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
