Leslie Samuel Phillips was born in Tottenham on 20 April 1924, the third child of Cecelia Margaret (née Newlove) and Frederick Samuel Phillips, who worked at Glover and Main, manufacturers of cookers in Edmonton. Phillips described his street as "beyond the sonic reach of the Bow Bells but within the general footprint of cockneydom." In 1931, the family moved to Chingford, where Phillips attended Larkswood Primary School. Consequently, Phillips has described himself as both a cockney and an Essex boy. In 1935, his father died at 44, having suffered from a weak heart and oedema brought on by the "filthy, sulphurous" air of the factory.The most expensive item with a signature of Leslie Phillips (Harry Potter-Leslie Phillips-The Sorting Hat-Signed-Signature-Autograph Card) was sold in January 2023 for £263.68 while the cheapest item (Autograph of Leslie Phillips (Harry Potter / Carry on Films)) found a new owner for £0.99 in April 2022.
