His accomplice Fabian Dawson, 29, had been sentenced to 10 years six months in prison at the same court on Friday 29 May.
The convictions are the culmination of an investigation by detectives from the Flying Squad at Tower Bridge, who worked with colleagues across London, Bristol, Basingstoke, Leamington Spa and Cheltenham.
Perry was arrested after a photograph of him - where he had cigarettes tucked behind his ears - was issued to the public. He handed himself in to police several days after it was published.
The 12 raids committed by Perry and Dawson primarily targeted bookmakers, but also included cash-in-transit guards and a post office. The pair stole more than £30,000 in their four month crime spree.
Anthony Lee Perry of no fixed address and Fabian Dawson of Druid Street, SE1 both pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to rob, in relation to the offences against bookmakers and cash in transit guards and to the robbery at Tewkesbury Road Post Office, Cheltenham.
Detective Sergeant Mark Murdoch, from the Flying Squad based at Tower Bridge, said: "Without doubt the convictions and substantial sentences handed down to Perry and Dawson means that people working in the bookmaker and cash-in-transit industries are safer.
"It is sometimes thought that these types of offence are victimless, but this is not the case. Although no weapons were used in these robberies those targeted in these crimes often suffered physical and mental injuries and as a result found it difficult to return to work.
"The Flying Squad is a committed and successful team who will continue to work with other Forces and the relevant industries to capture those people involved in this type of crime."
