Yes.
Do you have reference for that to say that you need visa?
Because I've called them and they said you don't need it for the blue travel document

No requirement for a visa.
"
Holders of Travel Documents issued by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
1951 UN Convention Travel Document (color Blue): no visa requirement. This travel document is issued to those who have been recognized as Refugees under the terms of the 1951 UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. The travelers should hold a valid travel document and a valid UK residence permit."

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

In fairness though, the OP doesn't state if he holds the travel document AND a UK Residence Permit, per the link Casa has quoted.
