I don’t think “metonym” is the right adjective to describe “Foggy Botton”; “nickname” is a more suitable description for it. Metonym is a word (name) associated with something established and well-known, and is frequently used interchangeably, as a substitute for it. For example, White House for the US prez, 10 Down Street for the British prime minister, 7 Race Course Road for the Indian PM, 10 Janpath for Sonia Gandhi, Kremlin with the Russian govt, Capitol Hill for the US Congress, and here in my city, Kolkata, Alimuddin Street for the CPI(M) headquarters.
