Custom Map Poster of Cambridge — Personalised University City Wall Art

A personalised Cambridge 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 studied at the university, live in one of its beautiful neighbourhoods, or have a deep connection to this extraordinary city, 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 Cambridge 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 Cambridge Map Poster Right for You?

A Cambridge map poster works particularly well for:

• People with a connection to Cambridge — 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 Cambridge, they are difficult to get wrong
• Interior decoration — Cambridge’s street network is one of the most architecturally exquisite and academically storied in the world. At the right scale, it makes genuinely beautiful wall art

Cambridge is one of our most requested graduation gift cities — a map of their college or street during their time there is a uniquely personal keepsake.

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 Cambridge?

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

• City Centre and The Backs — the colleges, King’s Chapel, the river Cam, the Backs — the most beautiful university townscape in England
• Newnham and Grantchester — the quiet, leafy south — riverside walks, Grantchester Meadows
• Mill Road — Cambridge’s most diverse and independent street — cafes, food, community
• Chesterton — north Cambridge — river, allotments, a quieter character
• Cherry Hinton and Romsey Town — east Cambridge’s community neighbourhoods

Cambridge’s college layout along the river creates one of the most beautiful map arrangements of any city in the world. A zoomed map of The Backs is extraordinary. In the design tool, search for any street, postcode, or neighbourhood and zoom to exactly the right area.

Which Map Style Should You Choose?

Cambridge suits heritage and refined styles that complement its academic character:

• Academic and heritage: Vintage Atlas or Architect Draft — the aged parchment and architectural quality both suit Cambridge perfectly
• Clean and elegant: Gallery Ink or Soft Neutral — lets Cambridge’s beautiful college layout speak
• Dark and atmospheric: Starlit Depth or Deep Nightfall — the river and college streets look magnificent in navy and gold
• Warm and classic: Sandstone Calm or Heritage Gold — earthy warmth that suits Cambridge stone beautifully
