Directions to Our San Francisco Office
The Thoreau Center is located on Lincoln Boulevard between the Lombard gate and the
Main Post of the Presidio in San Francisco, CA. The main entrance to the Thoreau
Center can be found in Building 1016.
Directions from the SF Airport or the Peninsula/South Bay:
Take US 101 North, watch for Golden Gate Bridge exit then take US 101 North aka Van
Ness Avenue... (see From US 101 North below)
Directions from the East Bay:
Take 80 West (Bay Bridge), watch for Golden Gate Bridge exit then take US 101 North
aka Van Ness Avenue... (see From US 101 North below)
Directions from downtown SF:
Take any westbound street to Van Ness Avenue, turn right heading North...
(see From US 101 North below)
From US 101 North (Van Ness Ave.):
When 101-North reaches Lombard Street, it turns left, and continues west on Lombard
toward the Golden Gate Bridge. Move into and stay in the far-left lane, and, after
crossing Broderick Street (which is right after Divisadero), follow the left turn
arrow, which means you'll remain on the continuation of Lombard Street instead of
veering right onto Richardson. Two blocks up, after a 4-way stop, you'll enter the
Presidio at the Lombard gate.
Once you've entered the Presidio, proceed to a 3-way stop, and turn right. At
the next (4-way) stop sign, you'll see the Thoreau Center ahead and to your right -
the white complex with twin balconies in front. Don't turn yet - proceed forward
until you reach the parking lot entrance, which requires a tight, right-hand turn.
After parking, you'll see our sign in front of the far left building, which says,
"Building 1016, Thoreau Center for Sustainability" - our entrance is behind the sign.
If the front lot is full, there is additional parking located behind the Thoreau Center.
Directions from the North Bay:
Take US 101 South across the Golden Gate Bridge, proceed to Downtown/Lombard Street exit.
Stay in the far right lane. Immediately before the first stop light, turn right onto Lyon
Street. Proceed forward, past the first stop sign, to the four-way stop at Lombard Street.
Turn right, entering the Presidio at the Lombard gate and then follow directions above.
Public Transportation
The Presidio is accessible by MUNI (673-6864) bus routes 41, 45, 82X, and 30 (from downtown
SF/Market Street), 28, 29, and 43 (from other points in the city). Only the 29 and 43 serve
the Thoreau Center directly, others require a 5-10 minute walk from near the Lombard Street
Presidio Gate. From the North Bay: several Golden Gate Transit (923-2000) buses also stop
near the Lombard Gate.
By Bicycle
The Presidio is open and accessible to bikes from any point in the city. From the East Bay,
you can board the Oakland/Alameda Ferry (510-522-3300) with your bike and ride from the Ferry
Building. The Golden Gate Bridge is open to bikers at all times - access is via Bridgeway from
Sausalito.
