Walk to the West End to get the list (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stroll

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

'walk' is the definition.
(strolling is a kind of walking)

'the west end to get the list' is the wordplay.
'the west end' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'list' becomes 'roll' (roll is a kind of list).
's'+'t'+'roll'='STROLL'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stroll that I've seen before include "Amble along" , "Walk slowly and idly" , "Meander" , "walk in a leisurely manner" , "gentle pace" .)
