As with previous answer, lead should ideally be removed. But yes leadlock fitting is the way to do this

Leadlock above ground only. Philmac Fittings although more expensive are far superior.

Use a universal Philmac adaptor, it has metal teeth and rubber seals inside it, which bites into the lead pipe to make watertight, measure the diameter of both pipes, they vary from 15mm-21mm and 19mm-28mm and these adaptors will tighten up onto any pipe, any good plumbers merchant should have one in stock, however, agreeing with previous responses, if you can replace the lead pipe back to the stoptap would definitely be more preferable....hope this helps
