The name Lentor comes from the Malay word for "pliable". The deco of the station depicts artwork by Tan Guo-Liang. The work is entitled Interlude. It is created using mesh fabric, and it depicts musical notes and Chinese calligraphy. The artist states that the curving lines in the art reflects the name of the station, which is pliable or flexible.
The Lentor MRT Station was also built to be a Civil Defence shelter, and can double up as a refuge in the case of warfare. Even in a chemical attack, the station air vents can be sealed off to prevent entry of poisonous gases.
The Lentor MRT Station entrance is at Lentor Dr. In the immediate vicinity is Thomson Grove apartments and the landed houses of the Lentor neighbourhood. The Ang Mo Kio-Thye Hua Kwan Hospital is about 550 metres away on foot.
