Level 1952 is the 1953rd level of the Backrooms.
Description
Level 1952 resembles the city of London during the early reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The foggy nature of the level has been compared to the 1952 Great Smog of London, an event which caused the death of up to twelve thousand (12,000) civilians. The nature of Level 1952 is very similar to this; many wanderers can expect certain harm if they remain in the level without finding shelter due to the fog that encompasses Level 1952. Not only does this fog obstruct vision, it also causes bodily harm on anyone who inhales it; thus, wanderers who find themselves on Level 1952 cannot stay outside for an estimated one-hundred and fifty (150) minutes before the likelihood of death is realized.
Nevertheless, Level 1952 remains a surprisingly inhabited level; colonies and outposts have been established here, and one is very likely to find others inhabiting the city. Level 1952 does seem to be a complete recreation of London, including places such as Buckingham Palace; the aforementioned residence serves as the head of the largest colony in Level 1952, the Kingdom of London.
Precipitation in Level 1952, similar to its Frontrooms counterpart, is not rare. It seems to be relatively normal; no abnormal affects from precipitation in this level have been recorded. Food and supplies are able to be found in the buildings of Level 1952; as is Frontrooms London, the level seems to be relatively self reliant, so long as it is inhabited. It is similar to Level 11 in that it can be used as a long term home; nevertheless, one must avoid constant exposure to the fog.
The fog, similar to the events of the Great Smog of London, is able to harm immune compromised or weak people even indoors; usually, the solution for this is proper nutrition and a larger space to stay in. Street lamps illuminate the majority of Level 1952 streets, allowing many wanderers to quickly find their way to safety.
Some have speculated that there exists a form of "shadow entity" on Level 1952. Although unconfirmed, many witnesses state to have seen something "run by," yet not leave a trace afterwards. These apparitions do have several common factors; they are always reported to be transparent, almost to the point of invisibility, fast, and present in less illuminated parts of Level 1952. These beings seem to not mean harm; however, few reports of these are present, and some may have darker intentions.
Colonies and Outposts
Level 1952 is a frequently traversed, relatively safe level; thus, a multitude of people inhabit the city. A group referred to as the Kingdom of London, an Impresario group, claims the city. Most of the level's population accept this; population is estimated at 1,000,000 - 1,500,000, although determining such is rather difficult due to the nature of Level 1952.
Diary of an Impresario
That never got old; the snapping motion, and then appearing somewhere entirely different. Yet, when I first arrived here, I coughed. Twas a struggle to breathe. I never expected that one of my colleagues would inhabit such a gloomy location. Nevertheless, we persisted on to meet them. Thomas was a kind man, and showed us around the palace. I had read about Buckingham in a book back home; the confinement of the house [Level 1009] was truly apparent as we explored this vast palace. It was seemingly not new to the First by any means. Around fifty years ago, I believe it was 1875, he attended a ball here with Rosemary. Of course, not here, here. The actual place, in the Frontrooms. Truly, although I am content, I have always wondered; what is life like in the Frontrooms?
