You will need a visa.

From the EU Immigration Website:

Moving between EU countries during my long-term stay – more than three months

When you stay in an EU country for a long stay, usually for more than three months, you will generally be issued with a national long-stay visa and/or a residence permit.

If your long-stay visa or permit has been issued by a Schengen area country, you can travel to another Schengen area country for three months per six-month period. […]

Germany is part of Schengen. If you have a long-term visa in one Schengen country, you can freely visit the other 25 for up to three months without a visa.

The UK and Ireland are not part of Schengen, and thus excempt from this rule.

Nepalese citizens require a visa to visit the UK.

Having a residence permit from another EU/EEC country does not free you from any UK visitor visa requirements. A residence permit from an EU/EEC country may free you from transit visa requirements. I would however assume that a EU residence permit will ease the application process and make it more probable that your application will be granted.

The UK is not part of the Schengen-zone, but part of the Common Travel Area. To enter the latter you might need to get a visa, depending on your nationality. You will probably need to obtain a General Visitor visa.

You can check if you need a visa, and what type you need on the government’s visa checker site.
