Where, in London, a bad actor gets a little kiss (7)

I believe the answer is:

peckham

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

'where' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'london a bad actor gets a little kiss' is the wordplay.
'london' becomes 'pec' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a bad actor' becomes 'ham' (a ham is someone who overacts).
'gets' indicates putting letters inside (gets can mean captures or absorbs).
'a little' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'kiss' is 'k'.
'pec'+'ham'='pecham'
'pecham' enclosing 'k' is 'PECKHAM'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
