Space in New Orleans for a Londoner (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sloane ranger

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

'space in new' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'orleans for a londoner' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'orleans' is 'sloaner' which is present in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ger' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
