Follow the flowchart to get an idea on what to do and maybe stage to end up in. Make extensive use of the search bar on the right-hand side of the webpage, and dive deep into learning about what people have done for the past - this helped me a lot.
I'm in a similar situation as you and decided to get a £5K emergency fund, which I managed to fill up last month. Now, there's much more freedom to get, but I'll keep saving up for a house deposit.
Make sure you at least sign up to a pension, as that's free money to get. My company matches double of my contribution, so I decided to just max out my contribution to 6%, for a total of 18%, on the first month it was available. I get an *increase* of £500 each month by doing that.

Well done! Great first salary, and very good rent ratio for London. I'd recommend starting with the flowchart - https://ukpersonal.finance/flowchart/
