I've traded at both Mt Gox and Britcoin. The volume at Britcoin is about 1% of that at Mt Gox. The arbitrage looks great in theory, but if you offer a trade at the market rate it can literally take hours to complete on Britcoin even if it is only for 5 BTC.
If you only want to do arbitrage with small amounts like .1 BTC then it should work. It might work out, but it's not as clear as it looks because of the tiny volume.Don't forget the currency exchange spread, and the forex risk you accept (if you sell for GBP and buy for USD, it might make you an initial profit, but not if the GBP drops in relation to the dollar).
A bit of arbitrage would make the market look more professional, and provide liquidity to other BTC-currency pairs. Expect the arbitrage windows to drop to pennies pretty soon.
