Tea Shelter at Portobello Roundabout?

Can anyone help settle a family argument?
My sister insists that in the 1960's there was a hut/kiosk that gave out cups of tea to the bus drivers on the opposite side of the road from Ramsey Tec (just past the Landrover Garage) at the corner where the old roundabout used to be. No one else in the family can remember this, anyone remember this?
Cheers
