This question already has an answer here:
Can a US citizen with a criminal record travel to the UK?
1 answer
Back in June 2007 I was sentenced to 9 months jail time and 3 years probation for a felony (soliciting to promote prison contraband) and a misdemeanor(possession of marijuana). I want to visit London specifically in 2020, but am worried that with my record I could be turned away. Even though I'm from the US, should I get a visa? Don't really want that extra cost, but I don't want to be turned away either.

Please take it with a grain of salt - as this is always the case with visas or entry, we can only speculate here. So you have two options:
Going without a visa. The UK Landing Card does not ask about prior convictions, and in my countless visits to UK I have never been asked any criminal history questions. Assuming you come as a genuine tourist, with a reasonable length of stay, this question might never pop up at all. There is however a risk to be refused entry, although - in my personal and totally ungrounded opinion - it is very unlikely. And see the bottom.
Obtaining a visa. This is more reliable, as obtaining the visa pretty much assures that you can enter UK. However there is also a risk to be refused the visa. Considering that your conviction happened then longer than ten years ago, included less than one year of prison stay and that you been straight since that, it is unlikely to have any severe impact.
There is also another option - you can fly to Dublin, Ireland (and depending on where are you in USA, it might be even cheaper than flying to London). From there you can fly to London, which would not be subject to passport control.
In any case, do not lie about your criminal record, but also do not volunteer this information unless asked.

@Hoki Ireland is not in Shengen area, instead it's part of Common Travel Area with the UK
– Iarek Kovtunenko

@IarekKovtunenko Yep my bad, I just checked and indeed Ireland is not in Shengen. I'll delete my previous comment. Nevertheless, only Irish citizen can enter UK without a passport, and they still need an official photo ID of some sort. Any other nationality would have to at least show a passport when entering the UK. There is no path to enter the UK by air where you wouldn't pass immigration. From the UK home office: "Citizens of countries other than Ireland and Britain must produce a valid passport and visa where applicable for travel between Ireland and Britain."

@Hoki when flying from Dublin to London you do NOT pass immigration. You only show your passport to the airline, and you land in a domestic terminal. There is no place to even show your passport "when entering UK".

Worth noting that if you apply for a visa and are refused (unlikely, but possible as a previous commentator has mentioned), you will no longer be eligible to enter the UK via the visa waiver program. That is, you would need to be explicitly granted a visa for every subsequent visit.

@MichelleS Anything and everything that helps in answering the question "why would she return home and not just stay illegally". Again, though, this is all just as a backup; chances are you'll sail through.

Worth noting that if you apply for a visa and are refused (unlikely, but possible as a previous commentator has mentioned), you will no longer be eligible to enter the UK via the visa waiver program. That is, you would need to be explicitly granted a visa for every subsequent visit.

Can you even get a US passport? A friend of mine had a similar conviction and couldn't even travel to Canada.

Burgi from what I've seen I should be able to, and Canada is just really strict on who they allow in, luckily I never had a desire to travel there

@Burgi your friend was probably denied entry by Canadian authorities, not denied a passport by US authorities.
