Custom Map Poster of Birmingham — Personalised City Wall Art

A personalised Birmingham map poster is a unique and striking piece of wall art — and one of the most meaningful gifts you can give someone with a connection to the city. Whether you were born there, work there, or have roots in one of its many distinct communities and neighbourhoods, a custom map captures something no generic print ever can: your specific place, at your chosen scale, in your chosen style.

At Piggery Studio, every Birmingham map is generated fresh from live OpenStreetMap data, printed at 300 DPI on 250gsm archival paper, and designed exactly the way you want it. Use our live design tool to preview your poster before you buy.

Is a Birmingham Map Poster Right for You?

A Birmingham map poster works particularly well for:

  • People with a connection to Birmingham — a map of your own city or neighbourhood is personal in a way no other wall art is
  • Gift buyers — map posters are one of the most appreciated personalised gifts. For anyone with roots in Birmingham, they are difficult to get wrong
  • Interior decoration — Birmingham’s street network is the UK’s second city and one of the most diverse and dynamic. At the right scale, it makes genuinely beautiful wall art

Birmingham is the UK’s largest city outside London — a deeply personal and always appreciated gift for anyone who calls it home.

Room suitability: Works in any room. Dark themes (Starlit Depth, Deep Nightfall) suit home offices and moody spaces. Light and neutral themes (Soft Neutral, Gallery Ink) work anywhere.

Which Part of Birmingham?

Being specific makes for a much more personal map. Think about which area actually matters to the person it is for:

  • City Centre and Digbeth — the dense commercial core, the Bullring, and Digbeth’s creative scene
  • Jewellery Quarter — Birmingham’s iconic historic quarter — intricate Victorian streets and independent makers
  • Moseley and Kings Heath — the characterful south Birmingham village strip
  • Harborne — leafy west Birmingham, popular with families and professionals
  • Edgbaston — the prestigious residential suburb, Edgbaston Reservoir, the cricket ground

Birmingham has more miles of canal than Venice — and those canals look extraordinary on a map. A poster centred on the canal network is unlike anything else. In the design tool, search for any street, postcode, or neighbourhood and zoom to exactly the right area.

Which Map Style Should You Choose?

Birmingham suits bold, urban themes as well as its rich heritage character:

  • Urban and bold: Midnight Ink or Industrial Raw — Birmingham’s industrial and canal network heritage comes through powerfully
  • Heritage and warmth: Vintage Atlas or Heritage Gold — suits the Victorian Jewellery Quarter and canal architecture
  • Clean and modern: Gallery Ink or Soft Neutral — timeless, interior-safe
  • Dark and premium: Starlit Depth — navy and gold, striking over Birmingham’s complex street and canal grid
