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

'london in the underground?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'the spanish in part' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'part' becomes 'bow' (I have seen 'Part of London' mean 'bow' so perhaps 'part' could also mean 'bow').
'el' put within 'bow' is 'BELOW'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
