Make a jQuery object and use class selector to get the span with class amount.

price_html = $('<span class="price"><span class="amount">£2,196.10</span></span>');
price_html.find(".amount").text()

or with single statement

txt = $('<span class="price"><span class="amount">£2,196.10</span></span>')
        .find(".amount").text()

or just $(price_html).find(".amount").text(); assuming price_html already exists
