Hey guys!

In my novel there are basically two worlds that I have to build and make feel real– all at the same time.

It is HiFi so world #1 is London, 1940s. But it is also (sort of) speculative history, so the other ‘world’ consists of people who secretly live in London but have all their own culture and traditions and clans and things. My MC starts out as a normal girl in London and then is plunged into the other ‘world’.

Any tips for how I can quickly make England feel real and accurate and in the middle of World War Two, so that we already understand and feel part of it before launching into all the brand-new worldbuilding of the other ‘world’?
