Have any recommendations of helmet , lock, or torch?

Helmet, one that fits your head and is comfortable, you need to try on. Budget probably £30 upwards

Lock, Sold secure Gold D lock plus a cable for front wheel (or another sort of lock). Budget £50+

Lights, Cateye or Moon for me. You need front and rear. Mine were probably around £50
Will depend on where you are riding. Mine are more to be seen than to light the road as most of my rides have decent street lighting.
The countryside has different requirements. You’ll need to budget for better lights

No, you need to try them on, see what local shops have that fit you. Mine cost more than that and are discontinued anyhow so no point recommending. Halfords, Decathlon, Evans ok places to start

Pretty much essential.

As for the helmet do a bit of research. Here's a good place to start:

Lock
I like the Kryptonite Evolution LS. It's a bit bulky to carry around mind so I'm buying the none LS one shortly.

What did you try? How did they feel to sit on? Have you ridden a road bike before?

Planet X have a good range. The sizes are medium and large and the measurement is accurate - i.e. measure your head. That said, it depends upon head shape. The Carnac and PX helmets are often on offer for £15 and are perfectly good - and I'm comparing this to a £150 Bell road helmet - it's just a bit nicer finished. I've got three PX helmets and a Bell. They do the job of protecting you from branches and road rash (and sun burn if you put a cap under )
