Maida Vale sounds promising, but even if it has a (bar) maid in it, I can't see how the clue works. (My working hypothesis is: homophone of bartendress, def. is section of London.)
Could be Abbey Road. Abby Rhodes is the name of many fictional and real people. Lawyers, soccer players, wrestlers, but no barmaids, unfortunately. (Not on the first page of search results, anyway.)
Lots of Oxfords around the world. Some of them probably even have universities. (The one in Mississippi is called Ole Miss, which is too long and not a city.)
I found out about the universities in Oxford when looking up airport codes. (And I should really wait for Jafe's confirmation. Sorry, got a bit carried away there.)
Yeah, but I wouldn't have posted that if I had thought the line more promising and the number of Oxfords less overwhelming. Then I looked back at my IATA results and regretted sharing my secrets. So thanks for letting me post the C4 (Chris Cudmore's Culinary Clue).
@Jafe Thanks. Too bad I couldn't use the original "in my belly".
"Portugal double" could be a Portuguese word for two/pair/twice, or "double of seafood" could be "oo". The only synonym for "belly" I've seen that's 11 letters long is "breadbasket" which doesn't seem to match the clue.
Apparently MW says "corporation" is another synonym of "belly", and I can see "portion" = "ration"... I'm not seeing anything with "corpo" yet
And how "get in touch with" works remains a mystery to me
I've had some similar thoughts. Possibly also an answer might end with CALL+_Y if 'belly' is interpreted as 'underside' (though how anything else could mean 'Portugal!' I'm not sure). One other thing I wondered is if the answer might be EXCLAMATION, where we have our CLAM seafood in the middle. Still, no dice yet.
The 16 prompts below may be separated into 4 groups.
Additionally, there is a word absent from the wall which may be placed in all four of those groups.

This youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYFHMD_ja7c shows a mathematical puzzle that had me quite baffled.
A single sheet is torn off a book, and the sum of the page numbers in the remaining sheets is 15000.
What is the sum of the page numbers in the sheet that was torn off?
