Arthur has managed to make a few friendships with fellow Americans throughout his time networking in London, which that's how he hears about this, and he shows up thinking it can't hurt to grab a bit of turkey and stuffing and nostalgia. He hasn't lived stateside for any significant length of time in years, but it's still home and this serves as a little taste of that in between actual trips back to Chicago.

He shows up with a couple other Hillingdon hunters and starts circulating right away. He always likes to informally case a joint before he sits down to eat, so he grabs a beer and starts talking, finding out where people are from and how long it's been since they were home and what they're doing in England, all the standard questions. He's always looking for new connections but he's never too heavy-handed about it. When he finally sits down its probably next to someone he doesn't know, asking if they mind and then slipping into a chair where there's a half-decent view of the game.
