If you're planning on doing more than just a short commute, you'll want to get:
That's the bare minimum, I'd say. You can ride with less but it'll be less comfortable and more inconvenient when you get a puncture. You'll also need lights if you ride at night, of course. A proper cycling jersey is also really nice and a massive improvement over a t-shirt but you don't need it.
I did a bit of research on this last year (before ultimately deciding to just keep it in the garage!) and for a few months had a bike tent.
Worked fine but eventually toppled over one windy day.
My budget was only around £50, but I did consider one of these (which seem to be considered the best option).
Ultimately I decided against it, and kept in the garage instead (insurace policy was only £50 more a year to keep it on the driveway, so the cost of a shed for the bike wasn't really justified).
The next thing up seems to be a purpose made metal locker, but they run as £400+
Like I say though, the plastic sheds you can get seem to be best bang for buck. All I would say is though I feel like having a shed/plastic storage is almost advertising that theres something to steal in it.
I appreciate this isn't the most helpful post, but as noone else has posted yet it's at least something!
I have that exact bike. It's a great entry level road bike! Done around 2,500km on it and it's still going strong. I've used it as a commuter with some security quick release skewers (so your wheels don't get stolen easily) and a Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini (possibly the strongest U-lock you can buy, other Kryptonite locks are worth a look too though, for less money).
I have this rack for it. As long you're physically able to climb the hill then the bike will. ;-)
They look pretty good! Quite a bit lighter than the Marathon Plus (which is their biggest criticism) which is a good thing, but of course a thinner puncture protection.
A Marathon Plus in 700x32c is only £24.48 with free delivery here on Amazon
That is what I would get for only £1.59 more.
Definitely get a hybrid. I have chunky tyres on mine which mean it will go over rough ground easily, and I quite like the front suspension as well. Don't overthink things, get to your local bike shop and ask what they have. They'll probably let you try them out first.
Somthing like this or this is what you're after.
Just make sure to check it's OK for you to start installing things in a communal area.
Something like this or this will cover most bases out and about. You can pick up a proper chain tool for a few quid, and they're a bit easier than the ones on multi-tools.
I've got a few multi-tools from various manufacturers and they all do the same job equally well. There's no one I'd specifically recommend.
My bicycle light comes from a Chinese seller. It has an intelligent sensing function. When the distance between my bicycle light and the driver is getting closer, my bicycle light will automatically weaken according to the brightness of the opposite driver's headlights until the bicycle light has no light. When the driver's car has passed, my lights will light again, which will solve the driver's anger and my safety, and this bicycle light is cheap and easy to use, I will recommend it.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H23SL9R
thanks, just looking though these tryes aren't available in 700 x 40, which was kind've my original point!

If you don't mind it not matching, you can't really go wrong with the Shimano RX010 wheels. It doesn't look like they sell the wheelset that came with the bike separately.

The tyres that came with the bike are out of stock, but any 700x28c tyre would do: https://www.decathlon.co.uk/700x28-resist-5-road-bike-tyre-id_8351381.html
Need a rotor too: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007G977IQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Might also need the tool to fit the rotor: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lifu-24009C3-IceToolz-Cassette-Lockring/dp/B00BQL0QXI/ref=pd_bxgy_200_img_3/259-1466338-1663328?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00BQL0QXI&pd_rd_r=80e66655-5430-4223-a58e-476cf928de5f&pd_rd_w=y2xVl&pd_rd_wg=CpSfa&pf_rd_p=655b7c7d-a17d-4637-9a0a-72a813e0d2cb&pf_rd_r=KMFHHSTBGCQFTHRCSPSK&psc=1&refRID=KMFHHSTBGCQFTHRCSPSK
We used the WeeRide

Liked it a lot because you could chat to them a d they weren't stuck looking at your bottom
The anarchist infrastructure collective recommends these, much quieter.
This one seems to have the most reviews.

No no, I did!!! I have this extension looped in the stair's railing. That is why I am saying the d-lock would be pointless, there would be a wire in the equation anyway.
I hate to say this, but you've learnt a lesson today.
Cable locks are worthless. They are cut through like butter. You have essentially locked your bike up with string.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-Expert-57768-Wire-Cutters/dp/B0001K9WXA
This will cut through both those bits of string. You spent £600+ on your bike, yet a couple of quid on a lock. Silly billy. What did you expect?
When your bike is replaced, get a good u-lock. What you used to "secure" your bike, I use on my front wheel . . . and I fully expect that one day I'll come back and find my wheel missing.
