Lee pairs streets that measure quieter than the capital's average with local state schools that inspect well — the trade-off is village feel, which this area does not score as having.
Overall: above the London average on the six things we score
vs the rest of London
Every band is relative to other London areas — a high band means quieter or greener than most of London, not quiet or green in absolute terms. How we score.
Beyond the headline, Lee also offers walkable green space most comparable areas can't match; and cultural and leisure options beyond the London norm. For families weighing the independent route, there is also a small cluster of private schools in or close to the area — shown for context, never scored.
The nearest station is Lee (National Rail), a moderate walk from the area's centre.

Relative to the rest of London, yes — Lee's measured road-traffic levels put its quiet-streets score above the bulk of the capital. Individual streets still vary; the tool's street-by-street view estimates how each road compares.
On schools evidence, it starts well: every local state school inspected so far is rated Good or better. Green space scores strongly for London, which helps the family case.
