You only said "enter the UK", not "visit" or "move to". What is the purpose of your trip and for how long? Visit? Work?

You can check if you need a UK visa at this gov.uk web site.
I ran through it with your citizenship, and guessed that the purpose of your visit would be tourism, and the result is that you do need a visa.
Unlike some other countries, having a US green card does not give you visa-free (or visa on arrival) entry to the UK.
As noted by @MartinBonner in a comment, having a green card could improve the likelihood of your visa application being approved.

But note that the Home Office is much less likely to suspect a green-card holder of planning to overstay their visa, than an Albanian resident.
