Similar sounds in London's city gardens (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

echoes

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

'similar sounds in london's' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'city gardens' is the wordplay.
'city' becomes 'EC' (the City of London postcode).
'gardens' becomes 'hoes' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ec'+'hoes'='ECHOES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for echoes that I've seen before include "Returning sounds" , "Sound reverberations" , "Reflected sounds" , "Repetitions of sounds" , "Repetition of sounds" .)
