…Yes, I think I confused you a bit with my description. Just so we're
on the same page I'll try.

I've transferred (as an example) €200 to my GBP account and it's now
£177. I had a £10 bank charge and so I'm trying to split the £177 but
when I do this it's asking me to do a currency conversion.

I guess 'cause the transaction I'm splitting originated from a EUR
transaction it's asking for a conversion.…

Antonio:

I feel your pain. I do multi-currency transactions frequently, and it took me a while to understand GnuCash's model of a "transaction currency", determined by the currency of the account from which you create the transaction, but not displayed in the UI. I think you understand it now.

I created bug 797664 - /Per-split exchange rates confusing, and UI doesn't explain well/ <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797664> - as a place to describe what is confusing about the present design, and to gather ideas for what improved design might make multi-currency transactions easier. If you are interested in participating in bug reports, you might want to read that, and add your thoughts.

In the meantime, congratulations on being able to issue an invoice. Those are a bit too rare in these pandemic times.
