Let’s say a movie about London in the 30′ wants to have a scene about driving car, how they make it? It’s all CGI? Or they have some tricks? How they use historic artificats?
In addition how they make complex places like a scene inside a nuclear reactor is it all CGI? Or they build a fake place?

It really depends on the movie, but it isn’t *that* hard to recreate a historic setting.
You have to remember that many movies are filmed on sets. Those films may appear to be filmed in the real world, but they are not. So, when you see a set of a 1930s London, all those houses you see might be complete shells. They might be the same houses shown from different angles and so they look different. That 1930s car might only look like one (and sometimes it is an actual car from the era), but it could be a recreation that looks real on film. If you looked at it in real life, you could tell that it is a fake care, but the camera only shows the real-looking part of it. One thing they do in more modern movies is CGI remove some more modern buildings. For example, they may want to film something like that looks like a 1930s house on farm. In reality, that house has a satellite dish on the roof and is next door to a superhighway, but they can CGI those things away to make the house look older.
In terms of nuclear reactors and what not, yeah, the set designers build those sets. Again, the computer control station of a power plant set probably does not have a real computer in it, but it *looks* like it does. You have to remember that film crews have carpenters, riggers, electricians, and a bunch of other people that can build just about anything that looks real enough to convince an audience. Sure, it might be a dying art due to CGI, but it is still done.
