Gosh NeilM, this is a toughie. Can't solve but here were my thoughts:-
Woody (HERMAN) but is Herman an area near London? Not that I can find.
also Man (an island) but a three-letter word for woody???
Doing = up to, but the only word fitting the letters which I can find is UP-TO-DATENESS. I'm unable to link to clue, though.
Have you made any progress?
