Travelling to London from US with an F1 Visa for vacation - Low angle of road sign with Route 66 End of the Trail inscription located near fast food restaurant against cloudy evening sky on Santa Monica Beach

Hi I am an Indian with a valid passport and am currently pursuing my graduate studies at the United States and I hold an F1 visa.

For my summer vacation I plan to visit my cousins in London for a two month stay there.

However, I am not sure as to what is the procedure for an Indian F1 student to obtain a tourist visa to the UK from the US. Can you please guide me on this?
