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

'swaggering dandies' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'around english city? many finished off in these' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'around' could be 'o' (a round letter) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'city?' could be 'bath' (English city) and 'bath' is found within the answer.
'many' could be 'l' and 'l' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bods' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'seen' is the link.
