Longlevens, originally known as Longleavens, is a suburb of Gloucester in Gloucestershire, England. The area developed from a farmstead during the twentieth century and may derive its name from the old Roman name Colonia Glevensis or from an original field name "Long Elevens", possibly referring to a long field about eleven acres. First recorded in 1750 as part of the estate of Gloucester Cathedral, Longlevens grew around the old farm cottages on The Avenue, built in the 1850s for agricultural labourers. According to the 2011 Census, the population of Longlevens was 9,532. The suburb retains historical street names and a character that reflects its agricultural past while serving as a residential community within the city of Gloucester.
