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

'time' is the definition.
(Greenwich Time is an example)

'place' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'place' could be 'green' (green is a kind of place) and 'green' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'wich' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for greenwich that I've seen before include "Zero degrees of longitude runs through the London borough" , "London borough, site of the Royal Observatory" , "origin of time" , "London suburb associated with Mean Time" , "somewhere in London" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
