I will be flying to Pittsburgh from Benagluru (India) and want to stop in London for 2-3 days to visit my friend. What sort of visa would I need to go to London? As I am an Indian national I will also hold a student visa for the USA.

@Traveller it's still reasonable to bring up as it does make a difference in some places and for some types of visas, even in the UK.
