No Nightingales is a 1944 comedy novel by Caryl Brahms and S.J. Simon, a regular writing team between 1937 and 1950. The title is a reference to the popular wartime song A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square. The novel is loosely inspired by the legend of the supposedly haunted townhouse 50 Berkeley Square.

Film adaptation[edit]

In 1947 it was turned into a film The Ghosts of Berkeley Square directed by Vernon Sewell and starring Robert Morley, Felix Aylmer, Yvonne Arnaud and Claude Hulbert.[1]
