Converting currencies also typically involves a "service fee" in the form of a few percentage points "off the top".
Of course, the value of it fluctuates greatly over time - that is, it changes on money markets almost second-by-second (and may be different value in different money markets - but these tend to 'even out' to prevent people from playing 2 markets against each other and reaping profits), but doesn't rapidly spike and dip usually.
The most accurate answer is that it is worth as many US dollars as someone is willing to GIVE you for that many British pounds. Money markets tend to merely track the average "asking price" - people buy and sell short currencies all the time in the hopes that the value will go up (or down).
