The five pieces of artwork inside the station created by a cartoonist refer to three major Dutch newspapers—de Volkskrant, Het Parool and Trouw—that had their offices at Wibautstraat and are considered to have cultural and historical value after the newspapers left the street to different locations.

The station was designed by two architects from the Government of Amsterdam: Ben Spangberg and Sier van Rhijn [nl].

[7] In a 1968 metro plan released by the information office of the municipality, the station was called Oosterparkstraat instead of Wibautstraat.

The tunnel walls were created underground and immediately topped with a roof, allowing the roads above to be reconstructed again.

[11] Prior to public opening, journalists and members of the municipality council were given a ride from Amsterdam Amstel to Weesperplein.

[15] In April 2017, the Gemeente Vervoerbedrijf (GVB) started to play music through the speakers of underground metro stations as a test.

It was also intended to create a larger space above the stairs from the station halls to the platform, but this idea was called off when scans showed pipes and cables in the area.

[19] The station and its surroundings, including the square above, have had trouble with drug addicts "for years", making the area feel unsafe for locals and passengers.

[22] In February 2017, an unofficial portrait of Eberhard van der Laan, then Mayor of Amsterdam, was painted near one of the entrances of the station after it was announced that he had an illness.

GVB said that the portrait was allowed to stay, but it was accidentally removed a month later by a cleaner who was unaware of the exception made for the artwork.

M51 used to serve the Amstelveen suburb by heading south after Amsterdam Zuid station and ended at Westwijk.
