17a "Commoner with title disposes of core part of London" (6)

B?R?E? - I'm assuming it's BARNES as the part of London (which has a common) but can't see the parsing

Any help much appreciated

think it's baronet (commoner with title) then lose the middle letter (core) to give a part of London

Bar(o)net.

Thank you rusty and bunty

Bit embarrassing as I should have got this having once worked in Barnet

Yes, you should!
