You don't need a visa to visit UK as EU passport holders travel visa free.
As from April this year, you will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) if you are a non UK citizen without a UK passport. You can apply for one from the ETA App site which also explains the procedure, the cost, how to pay and how long it is valid for (multiple entries up to 2 years or until your passport expires). The UK gov site shows which nationalities can enter with an ETA.
The ETA is similar to the ESTA to visit the US and to the ETIAS which will be required for all non EU citizens to visit the EU from October.
Countries requiring a visa (none of the EU ones) will still require a visa for visits to UK and the ETA does not cancel this requirement.
