"I Know a Place" was a 1965 single by Petula Clark, the singer's second US Top Ten hit.
Written by Tony Hatch, who also composed Clark's chart-topping "Downtown" and many of her subsequent recordings, it was released in March 1965 and reached Number 3 on the US singles charts in May, as well as becoming an international success. (The French version, "Viens Avec Moi," charted in France and Belgium.) Having much more of a "rock and roll" beat than its predecessor, it emulated the theme of "Downtown" by inviting the listener to "just get away where your worries won't find you" to a place "where the music is fine and the lights are always low."
The song is featured in the soundtrack for the film The Anniversary Party.
