South Kensington location's empty but hosting special prom just after (8)

I believe the answer is:

brompton

'south kensington location's' is the definition.
(area of South Kensington)

'empty but hosting special prom just after' is the wordplay.
'empty' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'hosting' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are welcomed in or hosted).
'special' indicates anagramming the letters.
'just after' becomes 'on'.
'but' with its centre taken out is 'bt'.
'prom' anagrammed gives 'romp'.
'bt' going around 'romp' is 'brompt'.
'brompt'+'on'='BROMPTON'

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
