Custom Map Poster of London — Find Your Perfect Style

A personalised London 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 grew up there, studied there, moved there, or simply love the 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 London 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 London Map Poster Right for You?

A London map poster works particularly well for:

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

A map of their specific neighbourhood is one of the most personal gifts you can give a Londoner.

Room suitability: Works in any room. Dark themes suit home offices, moody rooms, and feature walls. Light and neutral themes suit any space.

Which Part of London?

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

  • Central London — the sweep from Kensington to Canary Wharf, the Thames bend, Hyde Park
  • East London — Hackney, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, the canal networks
  • South London — Brixton, Peckham, Crystal Palace, Clapham
  • North London — Islington, Highgate, Camden, Hampstead Heath
  • West London — Notting Hill, Chiswick, Hammersmith, Richmond

A tightly zoomed map of a specific neighbourhood is far more personal than a broad city overview. When you use the design tool, search for any street, postcode, or neighbourhood and zoom to exactly the right area.

Which Map Style Should You Choose?

London suits almost every style. Here is how to decide:

  • Any room, any interior: Soft Neutral or Gallery Ink — clean, timeless, interior-safe
  • Home office or dark-painted room: Deep Nightfall or Starlit Depth — rich navy with gold roads, sophisticated and dramatic
  • Bold and modern: Electric Horizon or Cobalt Monoline — strong colour, strong statement
  • Vintage or heritage feel: Vintage Atlas or Sandstone Calm — aged parchment and warm sepia tones

Not sure? Try any theme on your London area in the design tool — switch between all 30 instantly before you buy.

What Size Should You Choose?

London’s street network is dense — the larger the print, the more detail comes through. We recommend A2 or larger.

  • A4 (£24) — Good for a desk display, a gift, or a smaller wall
  • A3 (£42) — A solid choice for a bedroom, shelf, or smaller wall
  • A2 (£65) — Our recommended size for most cities. The street detail really shows. Suits living rooms and hallways
  • A1 (£95) — Maximum impact. For large walls where you want the map to dominate the room
  • Digital download (£18) — High-res PNG delivered within 24 hours. Print locally at any size you choose
