Hyamson was born in London and educated at Swansea Grammar School and Beaufort College, St Leonards. He entered the Civil Service in 1895, where he initially worked at the Post Office. During the First World War, Hyamson was one of the most active Zionist writers in the UK.

Lloyd George even claimed that one of Hyamsons articles in the New Statesman had stimulated his interest in Zionism.
