Whereabouts of the pub at central Harlesden (6)
I believe the answer is:
locale
'whereabouts' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'the pub at central harlesden' is the wordplay.
'the pub' becomes 'local' (I've seen this before).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'central' says to take the centre.
The centre of 'harlesden' is 'e'.
'local'+'e'='LOCALE'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for locale that I've seen before include "Venue" , "Scene of event or occurrence" , "Place associated with particular events" , "Setting" , "Place (of an event)" .)
