Longlands is a residential area of urban Kent, to the 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 of Kent's Ruxley Hundred.

On Main Road there are a small number of shops including: two showrooms, an off licence / convenience store, a fish and chip shop, a restaurant, a launderette and a small post office. Shops here seem to be somewhat over shadowed by nearby larger towns, New Eltham and especially Sidcup. Within Longlands the place gives it name to Longlands Recreation Ground, Longlands Primary School, Longlands Road and Longlands Park Crescent.

A small river, the Wyncham Stream, flows from Chislehurst northward through Longlands toward Lamorbey and finally into the River Shuttle.
