This means that with the US amount you just half it to get the value in English pounds.
So, $1 is 50p in England.

Usually about 50-60p.

It's worth about 50 cents. It is much more expensive in the UK than here. Some of them come here to shop because it is so much cheaper. Cab drivers go to Saks to buy suits. There was an article about that in the NY Times. You will see a price in pounds over there and it is the same price here in dollars, so half the cost.

2.0171 US Dollars (USD) is equal to 1 UK Pound - todays exchange rate -

It is my opinion that you really can't spend US dollars in the UK, first you must sell them to a dealer that specializes in the currency conversion process.
But roughly one US$ to one UK£, and depending on how big the transaction is, a commission for the change agent.
edit. It is more expensive to change US currency here in the USA, in my experience.

US dollar is worth $0.50 in UK
1 pound is worth 2 US dollars.

Basically everything in the UK is twice as much as it would be in the US.

About $2. So if something you want cost 20.00 British pounds then it's probably going to be $40.00. So it's double the amount. I use to live there for 2 years near Oxford. It's expensive living in England. But it's worth it buy things over there that you wouldn't find in the US.
