Be still in lodgings (7)

I believe the answer is:

billets

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lodgings' is the definition.
(billet is a kind of lodging)

'be still' is the wordplay.
'be still' can be anagrammed to 'BILLETS'.
Though, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for billets that I've seen before include "Lodgings for the military" , "Soldiers' lodgings" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
