I keep coming across a small. vivid green flying insect which is about half an inch long. It has very long feelers with a slender body and lacy wings. It is in S.E England. Any ideas?

Probably a member of the Lacewing family, from your description I'd say it was either Chrysopa pallens or Chrysoperla carnea, the latter is a pale green while the former is a more vivid green.

Probably a Green Lacewing, Chrysopa perla. Check out the image below. You will have to scroll down the list to Chrysopa perla.

A Lacewing, rather late in the year, but yep, definitely a Lacewing!

It's a lacewing. They are common throughout Britain I believe.

Funny enough it is probably a lacewing (Order: Neuroptera). There are many colorful varieties of these little critters and their main diagnostic character is having highly veined lace-like wings.

it could be a lace wing but just possibly you could have found a baby dragon.
keep it in a jar and feed it swan vesta matches twice weekly for a century and a half.
keep a fire extinguisher handy.
in around a millenia you should be able to house train it but remember dragon s h i t is highly volatile and should not be put in your wheelie bin.

sounds like a pompilid wasp to me. it somewhat is a solitary wasp relatives. yet there are a number of comparable looking species, and with the intention to make your ideas up the species you in all probability could would desire to look at small characteristics below a microscope. So solitary wasp is so a good distance as i could commit myself.
