The blue-chip FTSE 100 (.FTSE) was up 0.5% by 0807 GMT. The domestically-focused FTSE 250 midcap index (.FTMC) rose 0.1% after logging its best week in almost two years.
British events organiser Informa Plc (INF.L) jumped 6.2% after it raised its full-year earnings outlook.
The pound dipped against a steadying dollar after Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said on Sunday that the central bank was not softening its fight against inflation.
