The station is located shallow underground and is the first Kyiv Metro station with a vaulted roof without column support. Along the tracks, on the ceiling, and above the entrance to the station's hall is a colorful motif, depicting flowers. The station is accessible by passenger tunnels; one leading to the Obolon'skyi Prospect, and the other — to Marshala Tymoshenko Street.

Voters chose to rename the station Varshavska[1] - after Warsaw; another choice was Vyshhorodska[2] - in a poll taken during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
