Directions to Stanford Memorial Church
From the intersection of El Camino Real and University Avenue in Palo Alto, go southwest (toward the foothills) on Palm Drive, the main approach to the central quad of the Stanford University campus. (If you had been northbound on El Camino, take the right-lane exit at University and turn left at the signal; if you had been southbound on El Camino, that's a right-lane exit at University followed by a right turn onto Palm Drive; if you had been on University keep going straight as it changes to Palm Drive.)
Palm Drive makes a large oval loop at the front of the Quad. Parking is available around the oval, which is free on evenings and weekends. Walk through the center of the Quad to the Church, with its distinctive mosaic façade.
From 280 southbound: Take the Sand Hill Road exit, go past the Sand Hill West offramp and take Sand Hill East (cloverleaf loop). Follow Sand Hill to the light at Santa Cruz Ave., turn right, then quickly get into the left lane to turn left at the Alpine Rd. light (turning onto Junipero Serra). At the next light, Campus Drive West, turn left, and follow Campus Drive loop halfway around the central campus to Palm Drive. Turn right onto Palm, following it to the oval, and park as above.
From 280 northbound: Take the Page Mill Road exit, curving rightwards onto Page Mill to go east to Junipero Serra/Foothill. Turn left onto Junipero Serra, then follow it to second light at Campus Drive East. Turn right onto Campus Drive East and follow Campus Drive loop halfway around the central campus to Palm Drive. Turn left onto Palm, and follow it to the oval and park as above.
