State of Clifton Gardens (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tonga

'state' is the definition.
(I know that Tonga is a state)

'of clifton gardens' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'TONGA' is hidden within 'clifton gardens'.

(Other definitions for tonga that I've seen before include "part of Polynesia" , "The Friendly Islands" , "South Pacific island group country" , "transport" , "Pacific Ocean monarchy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
