I love how British articles have no problem using words like "Moquette" Does everyone in Great Britain know the definition?

No, but anyone who has used the tube or busses more than a couple of times will know exactly what they're talking about when they see the pictures of the seats associated with the word.

Check out Geoff Marshall's video with a real life Tube moquette designer (Paul Marchant):

I can't remember a time when I didn't know the word, but then I grew up near London so used the Tube regularly as a child.

It's that disgusting fabric found on the Tube that when you slap it, you can see a plume of dust and god knows what else
