Custom Map Poster of Nottingham — Personalised City Wall Art

A personalised Nottingham 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 in the Midlands, studied at one of its universities, or are a proud Nottinghamian, 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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham Map Poster Right for You?

A Nottingham map poster works particularly well for:

  • People with a connection to Nottingham — 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 Nottingham, they are difficult to get wrong
  • Interior decoration — Nottingham’s street network is one of the UK’s most historically rich and culturally diverse. At the right scale, it makes genuinely beautiful wall art

Nottingham has two universities (University of Nottingham and NTU) and a strong student community — excellent for graduation gifts.

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 Nottingham?

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

  • City Centre and Lace Market — the dense historic core — the caves, the Lace Market’s Victorian warehouses, the Market Square
  • Hockley — the independent creative quarter, cafes, galleries, independent retail
  • West Bridgford — popular south Nottingham suburb across the river, the cricket ground
  • Beeston — west Nottingham — university adjacency, community feel, the river
  • Mapperley and Carlton — east Nottingham’s residential neighbourhoods

Nottingham’s historic cave network runs under the city and while invisible on a map, the streets above tell an extraordinary story of medieval planning. In the design tool, search for any street, postcode, or neighbourhood and zoom to exactly the right area.

Which Map Style Should You Choose?

Nottingham suits its rich heritage and its modern, creative energy:

  • Heritage and history: Vintage Atlas or Sandstone Calm — suits the Lace Market’s Victorian character
  • Urban and creative: Gallery Ink or Midnight Ink — suits Hockley’s creative, independent character
  • Warm and inviting: Dusk Ember or Clay Horizon — earthy tones for Nottingham’s warm community character
  • Dark and premium: Starlit Depth — navy and gold, particularly striking over the city centre grid
