Leader的父亲是一位执着的业余艺术家，也是约翰·康斯特布尔的朋友，本杰明经常陪他一起在塞文河岸边写生。他的哥哥爱德华·利德·威廉姆斯，后来成为著名的土木工程师，因其工作而被封为爵士，现在主要因为设计曼彻斯特船舶运河而被人记住——这后来成为了Leader最大画作的主题。

Leader曾在伍斯特皇家文法学校接受教育，最初在他父亲的办公室担任绘图员，同时在伍斯特设计学院学习艺术。在他的空闲时间里，他也画了很多“露天”风景画。

1854年，23岁时，他被伦敦皇家艺术学院录取，不同寻常的是，在他的第一年，就有一幅作品在那里展览。1857年，他将自己的名字改为本杰明·威廉姆斯·利德（Benjamin Williams Leader），以区别于其他许多姓威廉姆斯的画家。
