I believe the answer is:

barracking

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

'boos and hisses' is the definition.
('barrack' can mean boo or hiss)

'carmen in east london area leading' is the wordplay.
'carmen in east london' becomes 'racking' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'area' becomes 'bar' (bar is a kind of area).
'leading' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'racking' put after 'bar' is 'BARRACKING'.

'to' acts as a link.
