I believe the answer is:

alfie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'you'll find him in eastenders' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'in spitalfields' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ALFIE' can be found hidden inside 'spitalfields'.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alfie that I've seen before include "Boy" , "Michael Caine role reprised by Jude Law" , "1966 Michael Caine film" , "Name of fellow" , "Nineteen sixty six Michael Caine film" .)
