One of the Deathstalker family gets brought back in time by a super-science train (IIRC) to help the Droods in a particular fight. It turns out the Deathstalkers (who live millenia in the future, when large parts of the galaxy are settled) are descended from the Droods (who live in our day and age).
Also, characters from the Secret Histories and Nightside make cameo appearances in each others' stories.
The Street of the Gods somehow manages to be in both the Nightside and Haven (location of the Hawk & Fisher series). We have it on good authority that those streets are in fact the same street. Somehow. (I think Razor Eddie was originally a street fighter from Haven, before he became the Nightside's famous Punk God of the Straight Razor.)
The Ghost Finders of the Carnacki Institute have a couple run-ins with the Droods, and the two groups do not always see eye-to-eye...
The Walking Man ("the wrath of G-d incarnate in the world of men", and that isn't a joke) appears both in the Nightside and Hawk and Fisher (different people, same job post -- there is only ever one Walking Man at a time, but he can retire). IIRC he is also mentioned in the Secret Histories, but never seen.

And more...

It is a fundamental backstory that all his stories share the same universe. References literally abound, everywhere.
