A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square is the title of a well-known British popular song, written by Eric Maschwitz in 1915, and performed by Vera Lynn.

It was subsequently recorded in a shortened version by Nat King Cole. The Berkeley Square referred to is in London, UK, though the premise of the song is implausible; Berkeley Square is rather too urban a location for a nightingale.
