Calum Chambers grabbed Arsenal's opener, while Alexandre Lacazette, Nicolas Pepe and Folarin Balogun were also on target.
There was also a first glimpse of Albert Sambi Lokonga in Arsenal famous red and white, with the 21-year-old completing 45 minutes in central midfield alongside first Thomas Partey, and then second-half substitute Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
Alex Mitchell's close-range finish from a late Millwall corner was a minor blotch on arsenal performance, but overall Mikel Arteta will be pleased with his side's professional pre-season display following the potential disruption that could have been caused by the cancellation of Arsenal's US tour.
After all, Arsenal attacked right from the first whistle and Kieran Tierney was the biggest threat inside the opening 10 minutes. First he dropped a shoulder to find Eddie Nketiah, who headed over, before Mohamed Elneny dragged the Scotland international's low cross wide of the mark.
Chambers, Lacazette, Pepe, Balogun scored the goals.
