If you want to say that something happens immediately after someone arrives at a place, you can use a phrase beginning with on. Note that you must use on, not 'at', in sentences like these. You do not say, for example, 'At his arrival in London, he went straight to Oxford Street'. You can say 'On his arrival in London, he went straight to Oxford Street'.
