Do I need UK Transit or Visitor Visa – staying 2 days in London while traveling from India to USA

What's likely to happen if you try this is the following. While checking in to your flight in Mumbai, the airline officials will need to check that you have proper passports and visas for your destination. They're going to be strict about this because in general, if you are refused entry, the airline that brought you in is responsible to take you back.

They will see that your onward travel from the UK is not for 50 hours and their computer system will probably tell them that you are not going to be admitted to the UK.

If you do get on the plane, when you land at Heathrow, there is no real place to hide out for two hours before going through immigration.

In other words, you have to convince both your airline and the UK immigration people to make an exception in your case, which is not very likely.

Therefore, I suggest adjusting your travel plans or just getting a UK tourist visa.
