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

'stare fixedly' is the definition.
'eyeball' can be an answer for 'stare' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'fixedly' bit.

'london landmark before dance' is the wordplay.
'london landmark' becomes 'eye' (the London Eye).
'before' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'eye'+'ball'='EYEBALL'

'at' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
