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.

Holding a US student visa makes no difference to UK visitor visa requirements - whether you need one or not is still determined by your citizenship.

@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.

To visit friends in the UK you need a Standard Visitor Visa.
One could conceivably visit friends during a Transit Without Visa, for which the OP is eligible via their US student visa. But that allows for a maximum of 48 hours in the UK, and realistically much less.
