At this time, in this location, it's not the place to be (7)
I believe the answer is:
nowhere
'at this time in this location it's not the place to be' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'at this time in this location it's not the' is the wordplay.
'at this time' becomes 'now' (at the present time).
'in this location' becomes 'here' (I've seen this in another clue).
'it' becomes ''t' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis).
'not' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'now'+'here'+'t'='nowheret'
'nowheret' with 't' removed is 'NOWHERE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nowhere that I've seen before include "Miles behind!" , "in limbo" , "Erewhon (anag.)" , "unlikely to be found?" , "Out of the running" .)
