Yes, you will need a visa. The UK (unlike Canada) does not have a visa exemption for US permanent residents.

Thank you. Do you have any idea how long it will take to get a UK VISA under these circumstances? – Migo Surf May 18 at 20:34
@MigoSurf unfortunately, I do not. I also note that it is not necessary to write "visa" in all caps; it's not an acronym or anything like that, just a normal word. At least I can say that your LPR status in the US should help your application considerably, as will your having a well established family life in the US, so your application will probably be handled fairly routinely and therefore relatively quickly. But I do not know anything about the processing times, I'm afraid. – phoog May 20 at 14:18
