Way in which great strides are made? (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

savile row

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

'which great strides are made?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'way' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'way' could be 'av' (short for avenue) and 'av' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for savile row that I've seen before include "London tailors' street" , "Well-known street" , "Fitting way" , "Top tailors' street" , "London's tailoring street" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
