I would expect to see "Level" written in full as part of a postal address. In BrE, the most commonly abbreviated are:

St = Street
Rd = Road
Ave = Avenue
Flt = Flat (not particularly common)
Flr = Floor (also not particularly common)

I can think of a couple we don't abbreviate - "Crescent" and "Place".
