Purchased a print of the John Snow London cholera epidemic map as a retirement gift for a colleague. Unique Maps was able to rush the production, even during the busy holiday season so we could get it... See more

Written by the company
Since 1984 I have scoured the world for rare maps and restored them in my workshop. I guarantee you cannot find higher quality old maps anywhere else. I also personalise and customise old maps, such as adding a heart where someone got married, or colouring in the house where someone lived, or even creating a completely custom map from scratch. My beautiful maps make perfect gifts - or intriguing, thought-provoking artwork for your own home.

This is a great company
This is a great company. Communication and service are top notch, and the products are beautifully produced and packaged. Shipping was easy, too. Highly recommended.
The map was perfect!!
The map was perfect, arrived in great time and was loved by the person I gifted it to. Would absolutely buy a map from you again, it's a fantastic gift!

Lovely product and great communication from customer service
very professional and serious company
very professional and serious company. The maps are printed fastly and in high quality, I love the map I've bought! I hope they keep increasing the collection of maps in their stock, especially for european countries and Italy from medieval until 1800's
Website misrepresentation - beware of personalized map products
I purchased a large, framed personalized map on 12/2/2025, a few weeks in advance of the Christmas order deadline. The title of the product is "Personalized 3D US Topographical Map." The map, which included a frame, cost $445 USD. My map arrived at least one week late. The company told me they were doing all that they can and blamed delays on "couriers," but I received a subsequent email saying that my map didn't go into "production" until a day or two before Christmas. The final map also did not include a portion of the "personalization" promised. The frame is not impressive in any way. But those are not the reasons for my review. If it were just those things, I would chalk it up to bad customer service, but there is something much more abusive going on here. This company is vastly misrepresenting the product on the website. I received a completely "flat" map of the area that I requested. There is no "unique 3D shading technique" to give it depth and definition whatsoever. It looks absolutely nothing like the website examples. I completely understand that these folks don't actually print 3D maps, but I received a completely boring, not exceptionally well framed poster print for nearly $500. I reached out requesting a refund. Having received no response whatsoever, I followed up several times over the course of two weeks. I finally received a response after adding in all the email addresses I could find and sending my email again. They offered to "fix" the part of the personalization that was missing, but I have no interest in showcasing a large poster print in my home, particularly when it reminds me of this terrible experience. I am writing this review because I read the Trust Pilot reviews before making this investment. For reference, I believe that they rely on the "Please note" section (I've copied it below) to allay complaints such as mine, but as you can see within in the full context of the description, along with the images, the fact that the company relies on this as a "disclaimer" is very telling. I make a living out of reading between the lines of disclaimers, and I felt personally shocked at this level of misrepresentation. Hopefully this helps someone.
This is what the website says:
"Bring the landscape to life: literally.
With this custom map, we’ll take an authentic USGS topographical map and apply our Unique 3D shading technique to give it real depth and definition. Mountains appear to rise, valleys sink, and the terrain takes on a sculptural look — a striking fusion of vintage cartography and modern design.
Please note: while these maps appear to be very 3D, they are actually 2D, printed on your choice of archival paper or artist's canvas."
As good as it gets
I embarked on a quest to acquire a map which detailed a particular Edwardian house built in 1913. Unique Maps delivered, exceeding my expectations. As one may imagine I had many questions, nothing was too much trouble. I am now in possession of a beautiful map.
A Unique service indeed.
Thank you
This is a brilliant UK based company
This is a brilliant UK based company! Bought a global map of horse breeds (it’s better than it sounds) and my daughter loves it! It looks antique and is beautifully drafted. A great gift and it landed very well for Xmas. Need to get it framed now!
A truly fine map
Excellent communication; fast delivery; a truly fine map (indistinguishable from the original); highly recommended!
Great Product and a Professional Service
Great product and a professional service. I would recommend the Unique Maps Co. to anyone. I have purchased from them twice now and have been very satisfied with my orders.
Fantastic map and great shop
My boyfriend loves the map I got him of the Battle of Trafalgar, it is proudly displayed on his study wall, he was so pleased with this gift. The map is beautiful and great quality, and was dispatched very promptly, especially as it was the lead up to Christmas. The communication from Sebastian was also great, I’ll definitely be buying again.
Fantastic, original product
Fantastic communication and knowledgeable support on customising the map I had requested as a gift. The finished framed map was of a very high standard , which was very well received as an original and stylish gift.
Would absolutely recommend
Very nice product
The website was clear, the map arrived safely, it was well packaged. It lived up to expectations - it was a gift for my father-in-law, and he really likes it! He has enjoyed poring over it - and it's very aesthetically pleasing, too. Great product and service :-)
Great communication
Great communication, even at christmas time. Resolve any issues very quickly.
A quality product exactly as shown on…
A quality product exactly as shown on website. Timely communication re delivery.
Beautiful maps and excellent customer…
Beautiful maps and excellent customer service. I can only recommend The Unique Maps Co, which I discovered around Christmas as I was looking for replicas of old maps for my adventurus mum. A very satisfied (new) customer!
5 stars for quality and customer…
5 stars for quality and customer service. My first map didn't come so they gave me the contact of the printer in Ireland and I was able to collect a new copy from them. My original order did eventually arrive too. I will be buying more maps from them!
Great service
A pleasure to buy from
Smooth order process despite me having a few questions along the day. The team were really helpful and swift in the communication. Love the product.
Highly recommended
Post office failed but Unique Maps made it right
I had ordered a Christmas gift in November and realized it was sitting in transit for weeks. I contacted Unique maps and they remade the map and sent it out. I received that map before Christmas and I received the one that was sitting at a post office on January 12. They did everything to make sure I had the map for Christmas.
Excellent product and speedy service…
Excellent product and speedy service and communication throughout the whole ordering process. Very impressive. Very much felt like a personal service. At first I was frustrated at not being able to talk to someone in person but a whole range of queries were answered online before placing the order and an impressive duty of care betwern placing the order and actual delivery. I woukd highly recommend this company
