Standard sphere of operation for English capitalists (6)
I believe the answer is:
london
'standard sphere' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for london that I've seen before include "US writer" , "UK's capital" , "Jack - , US author (White Fang); city" , "Where Boris Johnson might be" , "English capital" .)
