No you haven't required a transit visa to travel through UK, its only required when you are traveling through America.
Have a safe journey! ;)

I think we dont need a transit visa even if we go out of the airport if we have a connection flight within 24 hours.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/transitthroughtheuk/visa-to-transit-landside/

Since we fall in the travel without visa concession category.

Its a good idea to see big ben, at least once, right?

no u need a visa if u want to leave the air port....if u want to exit air port u will have to go through immigration and customs.
