What sort of visa do I require for a layover in London, Heathrow Airport, UK?

As Henning said, you will not need a UK DATV since you have a US visa. In fact, even if you did need to enter the UK to pick up baggage (which you won't because it's on one ticket), you could do so on the basis of your US visa.

Also, since your trip is on one ticket, you need not worry about the connection time at all. Even if you were to miss it due to your inbound flight being late, American is obliged to take care of you without you paying a penny

Heathrow has airside transfer buses between the terminals for flight connections, so if you have your baggage checked through, you do not need to pass through the UK immigration or customs control.

Having a valid USA visa exempts you from the airside transit visa requirement that usually apply Indian nationals.

2½ hours should be plenty for an airside connection.
