• Answer:

  All previous answers have presumed that you are an American; however you state "I'm currently living in U.S.A.". It actually depends on your [unknown] nationality whether or not you will need one or two visa. England is not a Schengen country, so you would need to get a visa for the United Kingdom if you need it based on your nationality. You can check it here using the "Do I need a visa" questionnaire: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/ .. All other countries apply to the Schengen agreement and issue one common visa which covers all countries if required. They also apply to a common list of nationals who need a visa. You can check the requirement to get a visa here: http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/EN/EinreiseUndAufenthalt/StaatenlisteVisumpflicht_node.html .. The UK visa application, if required, must be filled online. You would need a general visitors visa for tourist purposes which can be applied for up to three months prior to the proposed travel date. You would need to get an appointment with USCIS to have your biometrics taken before you can send the application package to the UK Border Agency in New York for processing. Details how to do it can be found here: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/countries/usa/?langname=UK%20English .. A Schengen visa, if required, must be applied for at the Embassy or Consulate General of the country in which you plan to stay for the longest time (main destination). The country of planned first entry will decide about the visa application if no main destination exists. Most Schengen countries have established consular districts and you must apply for the visa at the Consulate which covers your U.S. state in which you are currently living. The visa can be applied for up to three months in advance. http://www.ambafrance-us.org/spip.php?article330 .. http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/05__Legal/01__Consulate__Finder/List/__Consular__Districts.html .. http://www.ambwashingtondc.esteri.it/Ambasciata_Washington/Menu/Informazioni_e_servizi/La_rete_consolare/La+rete+consolare.htm .. If you do not need a visa based on your nationality you should hold proof of your onward travel plans (return/onward flight ticket) and some documentation which convinces the UK Border Agency officer that you plan to leave the country after your visit. This could be a statement from your employer for how long leave has been granted or a statement of your school/university about enrollment and when the next term commences..
