Question

Answer 1

Right now, for every 2 dollars, you will get 1 pound.  Not exactly though but close enough.  There is an exchange charge, maybe 1 or 2%.  Don't change money at the airport or train station, go to a bank because they will charge less.  For instance, if the rate is $1~1.98 pound, you'll get $1~1.93 or something like that.

Answer 2

as it stands today

£1 = $1.97

Answer 3

....both the answers above are good!

I'll just add that there are 100 pence to the £,  just like there are 100 cents to the $,

so 5p (pence) is worth about 10c (cents) - easy!!

Just be aware that the McDonalds and Burger King burgers are a lot smaller!

Have a great time in England - it's a fun place!!
