Unknown party left doing U-turn in E European city (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lodz

'e european city' is the definition.
(Lodz is a city in Poland in Eastern Europe)

'unknown party left doing u-turn' is the wordplay.
'unknown' becomes 'z' (algebra).
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'doing u-turn' is a reversal indicator.
'z'+'do'+'l'='zdol'
'zdol' written backwards gives 'LODZ'.

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for lodz that I've seen is " Polish city".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
