Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Cecil Bingham Levita KCVO CBE DL (18 January 1867 – 10 October 1953) was a British soldier and public service worker who eventually rose to be chairman of the London County Council in 1928.

[10] In 1910 Levita contested the St. Ives division of Cornwall in the General Election as a Liberal Unionist but was unsuccessful.

[1][11][12] However, in 1911 he was elected at a by-election to the London County Council as a member of the Conservative-backed Municipal Reform Party,[13] where he represented North Kensington for over 25 years.

[18] Lambert won substantial damages[19] and the case prompted an enquiry launched by then Prime Minister into the rights of a public corporation to control the extraneous activities of their employees.

[21] On 30 May 1917 Levita married Florence Woodruff, widow of George Aman of Bucharest and daughter of William Robb.
