Recent forecasts for the USD to GBP exchange rate reflect a complex interplay between evolving economic conditions in the U.S. and the U.K. The U.S. dollar (USD) has demonstrated fluctuations as analysts consider the implications of potential U.S. economic recession and the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies. Following the release of the minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee's September meeting, where Fed policymakers indicated a reluctance to make aggressive rate cuts in the near term, the USD exhibited modest gains, trading at 14-day highs near 0.7651. However, FX analysts remain cautious, particularly with the upcoming consumer price index (CPI) report anticipated to potentially influence a shift in sentiment, especially if inflation continues to decline.

Generally speaking, if you are buying British pound with US dollar, then it's better for the USD/GBP exchange rate to be higher.
However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
