The station of the first section of the B metro line - Moskevská, today Anděl, with two vestibules is located in the area of Smíchov near the Anděl crossroads. Its appearance is the result of an agreement on the architectural design of the Prague and Moscow metro stations: Czech architects were to design the Pražská station in the Moscow metro and architects from the USSR were to design the Moskevská station in Prague. On the Czech side, the architects Eva Břusková and Marie Davidová worked with architect Lev Nikolaevich Popov on the Moskovskaya station. Davidová worked mainly on the northern vestibule and on the interiors of the commercial amenities of the attached pavilion, which were also designed by architects Josef David and Jan Adámek. The pavilion contained, among other things, a buffet, a snack bar and other commercial spaces. The project also included original lighting fixtures designed by Marie Davidová, as the lighting concept fell under the design department. The northern vestibule of the Moskevska metro and the attached pavilion were demolished in the 1990s and replaced by the Zlatý Anděl office building.
