The station lobby is built into the building located at the intersection of Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street and Kuznechny Lane, near Vladimirskaya Square, which houses the design institute Lenmetrogiprotrans in front of the Vladimirsky Cathedral. The vestibule was designed by architects G. I. Alexandrov, A. V. Zhuk, A. I. Pribulsky.
