As far as this area of London goes, just south of New Cross and Lewisham, McLaren's cafe provides good value food. Service is efficient, though it's a fairly small space. There's a covered outdoor seating area as well.
I visited in the morning and can especially recommend their breakfasts. There are four options (including vegetarian), all with scrambled eggs and sauteed potatoes. The vegetarian option has what appears to be a homemade mushroom & tarragon sausage, with plenty of the other staples (baked beans, mushrooms, grilled cherry tomatoes, egg and bread), and is very tasty.
A breakfast special was also advertised before 11.45am on Mon-Fri, where any breakfast would be £2.95 (you can see this on the photo), though it wasn't operating on New Year's Eve.
