Lee, also known as Lee Green, is an area of South East London, England, straddling the border of the London Borough of Lewisham and the Royal Borough of Greenwich. It is located northwest of Eltham and southeast of Lewisham. It was in Kent before becoming part of the County of London in 1889, and then Greater London in 1965. The churchyard of St Margaret's Church is the burial place of three Astronomers Royal: Edmond Halley, Nathaniel Bliss and John Pond.
