What is the best visa option for visiting UK for a week or two from US?

Question

I was looking through the options of visiting UK for a week or two. With the information available online it is a bit daunting to figure out which is the right visa. I am in US for my studies on an F-1 visa from India.

What is the best option of visiting UK for a week or two from US?

What are the financial documents I should show?

Should the amount be in US dollars or should I convert back to my native currency?

Please add your citizenship, as responses will need that info. — Giorgio, Dec 19 '16 at 14:40
You may want to check if you are eligible to apply from the US to the UK - as you are not a permanent resident of the US. It may be that you need to apply for the visa from India. — Burhan Khalid, Feb 07 '17 at 04:57

You need a Standard Visitor visa (you can check this here) and the documents required are listed at GOV.UK. There is no need to exchange currencies.

As far as what financial documents to include as evidence, you can read the Supporting Documents Guide and Should I submit bank statements when applying for a UK Visa? What do they say about me?
