I don't know what の頃【ころ】 means in this sentence. I know ころ means 'about' or
'around' but I still don't understand its use here.

ロンドンに来たばかりの頃【ころ】、私は「Chip Butty」を知りませんでした。

My best translation:

I've just come back from london and I didn't know what a Chip Butty was.

question
grammar translation meaning particles
What does の頃【ころ】 mean in this sentence?
`ころ` means "around", "about", or "(at) the time". So it translates to:

> At the time I'd just come ~~back~~ to London, ...

Note that it's `come to London`, not `come back from London`.

Other common usages include

>   * 子供のころ → When I was a child
>   * 高校生のころ → When I was in high school
