tahiti

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

'where to' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'a new hat at the british centre?' is the wordplay.
'a new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'centre?' says to take the centre (I've seen 'centre' mean this).
The middle letters of 'british' are 'iti'.
'hat' anagrammed gives 'tah'.
'tah'+'iti'='TAHITI'

'get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
