Finding Us & Access
German Naval Signals HQ
is situated in St Jacques, St Peter Port, GY1 1SN.  It is next door to
La Collinette Hotel.
This site is a restoration of the
original bunker
, as such it is below ground with a narrow entry and steps. It is
not wheelchair accessible
.
Please note: there are
no toilets or cafe
at the German Signals HQ (but these are both available at Guernsey Museum at Candie, which is only a short walk away).
Parking
is not available on site but nearby at Beau Sejour Leisure Centre or on road near Candie Gardens.
AccessAble have produced a detailed access guide to this site, which can be viewed
here
.
Assistance dogs are welcome at the Signals but we do not accept other pets.  We ask that assistance dogs wear the appropriate tabards or harness, so our staff know that they are working animals.  If you are in any doubt about bringing your assistance dog, please contact us for more information on
(+44) 01481 226518
or museums@gov.gg.
DID YOU KNOW?
This underground network of rooms was restored by members of the Channel Islands Occupation Society and many of the original internal fittings have been retained.  These include the ventilation pumps, heating boiler and toilets (non-functioning). The rooms have been re-fitted and equipped to as near original condition as possible, based on detailed information supplied by the former Naval Signals Officer and other German personnel.
