What is the required bank balance?

It totally depends on you. You will need to calculate how much you will spend during your stay in the UK and you will need to have twice that amount in your bank.

example,

You will be staying in the UK for a week and you think you will spend $200 in one day, that means $1400 in total for the whole week. Then you will need to show at least $2,800 in your bank account.
