The name of the station, like that of the green square adjacent to the entrance, is named after Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte of Luxembourg (born Princess of Belgium). It is located in the municipality of Woluwe-Saint-Lambert/Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe, in the eastern part of Brussels, Belgium. The station is located entirely below the Avenue de Broqueville/De Broquevillelaan.

In late 2008, the original Pavimento Pirelli black rubber flooring on the platforms was replaced with new biscuit-coloured terrazzo floor tiles.
