| | French translation:enfant de l'East End (londonien) | Explanation:
Je mets "londonien" en option, tout dépend si le texte précise ailleurs qu'il s'agit de Londres.
"Enfant" pour l'idée qu'il en est originaire (autre possibilité :figure/représentant ?)
Cette monographie rend hommage à la photographie de David Bailey, retraçant l'ascension fulgurante de cet originaire des quartiers populaires de l'East End, qui fut assistant dans les studios de John French avant de devenir l'un des plus célèbres photographes du magazine

10 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +2 London East Enders
Explanation:
I think you really need to treat this as being a proper name, and so not translate it (particularly since it already appears in quotes), since any translation attempt is doomed to seriously under-render the whole cultural significance of the source term.
Personally, I'd add a cultural explanatory note in brackets afterwards, if that is feasible and appropriate for the style of your document as a whole.
Of course, it's really like « l'École du quartier est de Londres », but that really lamentably misses the whole cultural point.
