Boone's Chapel, Grade I listed chapel in Lee, London Borough of Lewisham, United Kingdom.

The red brick structure features Portland stone details, rusticated quoins, and a pyramidal roof topped with an open wood cupola at its center.

Christopher Boone commissioned Sir Christopher Wren to design this chapel in 1683, which stands adjacent to the former Merchant Taylors almshouses on Lee High Road.

The chapel represents one of only two Grade I listed buildings in Lewisham borough, demonstrating exceptional architectural significance from the late 17th century.

The building, measuring 45 square meters, currently functions as an architect's office but opens to the public for thirty days throughout the year.

A small physic garden was added to the chapel grounds during its 2008 renovation, following a successful fundraising campaign exceeding 500,000 pounds.

Location: London Borough of Lewisham
