Walks or takes public transport around Clapham central (6)
I believe the answer is:
tramps
'walks' is the definition.
(tramp is a kind of walk)
'transport around clapham central' is the wordplay.
'transport' becomes 'trams' (trams are a type of public transport).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'central' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle of 'clapham' is 'p'.
'trams' going around 'p' is 'TRAMPS'.
'or takes public' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tramps that I've seen before include "Walks heavily with vagrants" , "Walks heavily like hoboes" , "Become hard or solid" , "Walks heavily like hobos" , "Journeys wearily" .)
