Manchester Map Poster — Dark

There is a hidden geometry to Manchester, and this poster puts it on your wall. This minimalist map poster distils Manchester, United Kingdom down to what actually shapes it: the street grid, the waterways and the green spaces, drawn with nothing left over.

The Dark edition sets Manchester against a deep navy canvas, its roads traced in white light. The effect is closer to a city seen from a night flight than to a traditional map — bold, modern and quietly dramatic. It is a natural fit for contemporary spaces and rooms with darker, moodier palettes.

Every line on the poster is real. The map is rendered directly from OpenStreetMap data, covers roughly 14 km of the city centred at 53.4808° N / 2.2426° W, and keeps the true road hierarchy intact — motorways, main roads, residential streets and quiet service lanes each drawn at their own weight, alongside rivers, coastline and parks. The result is not an artistic impression of Manchester; it is Manchester's actual street plan, composed as wall art.

Printed at 300 DPI on 250 gsm museum-quality archival matte paper at 50×70 cm (19.7×27.6 in). Choose the print on its own, ready for a frame you already love, or have it arrive framed in black, white or natural wood behind crystal-clear plexiglass, ready to hang. Each poster is produced at the print partner nearest to you and ships to the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Whether Manchester is where you started, where you landed or where it all happened, this is a map worth keeping. Also available in the Classic edition — the same map in black and white.
