I believe the answer is:

lie

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

'possibly incredible place' is the definition.
'lie' can be an answer for 'place' (lie is a kind of place). I am not certain of the 'possibly incredible' bit.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lie that I've seen before include "Tell untruths" , "Perjure" , "Rest; falsehood" , "Couch" , "Be prostrate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
