I applied through LA office by mail.
Firstly, you have to fill the online http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk (fee $137). Even though if you have a green card, you have to give the finger-print through your local uscis office (application support center). Appointment at finger-print center will be fixed at the end of the online application. After you have given you finger-print, you have to send your original passport, original green card (or original I-94), your bank statement, welcome letter from your relatives in uk  (air ticket & hotel reservation if you are travelling on business)  to uk consulate office through mail(bit scary,but it will be fine). So after 2-3 days, they will email you about the approval status. Then it takes couple of days to reach you.
I would say at least 15 days to get uk visa.
