US citizens are allowed visa free entry to the UK for the purposes of tourism.

thank you just wanted to make sure.

How long can i stay for?
do i need to show proof of funds and return tickets?

Usually a 6 month entry is granted.
UK passport control would probably not ask a US citizen for either, but be prepared to show funds and return tickets if asked for.

U can only stay max of 90 days( not 3 months). U would have to apply for a long stay visa if you would like to spend more time there.

I have to disagree. I have traveled to the UK on all three of my passports. The default entry granted is for 6 months.

I agree. I just went to the UK on my RP, and I was granted a 6 month stay. Take proof of funds, return tickets and your relative's details, just in case.
