Longlands ward (green) within the London Borough of Bexley (yellow)

Longlands is an area of South East London that straddles the boundary of both the London Borough of Bexley and the Royal Borough of Greenwich. It lies north west of Sidcup and south east of Eltham.

Some old maps and records have the name as two words "Long Lands", and show it was in the Foots Cray/Sidcup parish[2] in the Hundred of Ruxley.[3]
