if you manage to get there you will probably be kidnapped (extraordinary rendition) taking to an eastern european gulag and tortured until you admit to being osama bin ladens goat herder

You will need details from the court that handled your case. The State department wants everything in writing. If the court no longer has your records and you can't get them, ask for something in writing from them to explain why they don't have the records. You can present this at your interview instead, it worked well for me. Your conviction was 20 years ago and your behaviour since will be taken into account. You police check form may not even show the crime but you need to declare it anyway. I can't guarantee you will get a visa but you have a very good chance based on what you said here.

If you come from any of the following countries you do not need a visa if you have a machine readable passport. Andorra, Iceland, Norway, Australia, Ireland, Portugal, Austria, Italy, San Marino, Belgium, Japan, Singapore, Brunei, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Denmark, Luxembourg, Spain, Finland, Monaco, Sweden, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, New Zealand, United Kingdom.

So that may be the way to go to avoid difficult questions. Check out the site regarding visas from the US government.

UK has nothing to do with USA. If u have a problem in UK that means it is over on UK that u have to solve it ... If u want to visit other country also other then USA, u can. Unless u are prohibited by UK court to leave the country. In that case u need to do what they tell you to do. Thats what i think.

The best to do, I think, is not to declare it to the visa embassy or to the border.

Nope, only the good can get a visa.
Go to the American embassy in London, and they will laugh at you!
