Custom Map Poster of Oxford — Personalised University City Wall Art

A personalised Oxford 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 suburbs, or have a 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 Oxford 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 Oxford Map Poster Right for You?

A Oxford map poster works particularly well for:

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

Oxford is one of the most common graduation gift cities we receive — a map of their college or street is a meaningful memento of their time there.

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 Oxford?

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

• City Centre and University Quarter — the colleges, Bodleian, Radcliffe Camera, High Street
• Jericho — Oxford’s creative neighbourhood — independent shops, the Phoenix cinema, canal-side living
• Cowley Road and East Oxford — the diverse, lively student and community quarter
• Headington — the residential village on the eastern edge, home to many academics
• Summertown — the leafy north Oxford suburb

Oxford’s university college layout creates a unique map unlike any other city — the organic medieval streets mixed with formal quadrangles is visually extraordinary. 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?

Oxford suits both its academic heritage and its creative, modern character:

• Academic and heritage: Vintage Atlas or Architect Draft — both suit the scholarly, architectural character of Oxford
• Clean and elegant: Gallery Ink or Soft Neutral — lets Oxford’s complex university layout speak
• Dark and atmospheric: Starlit Depth or Deep Nightfall — the college streets look magnificent in navy and gold
• Modern and bold: Cobalt Monoline or Electric Horizon — for a contemporary take on a historic city
