Some Londoners live there with shelter in mind (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

mile end

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

'some londoners live there' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'shelter in mind' is the wordplay.
'shelter' becomes 'lee' (as in lee side, the side sheltered from wind).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'lee' placed within 'mind' is 'MILE END'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for mile end that I've seen is " 6D 5A [TUBE STATION]".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
