David Bailey's East End on camera

Help

David Bailey is synonymous with the Swinging Sixties in London and famous for the celebrities he has captured on camera.

But now, as BBC London's Brenda Emmanus reports, he is showing a collection of his photographs taken over the past 50 years where the subjects are not models and film stars but the people and places where he grew up - the East End.

His work is on show at Compressor House, Royal Docks, until 5 August.
