London shares built on gains after Greek lawmakers approved the country's rescue deal and central bankers kept Eurozone interest rates on hold.
The FTSE 100 Index rose 40.73 points to 6794.48 after the parliament in Athens passed the controversial package despite a mini-rebellion.
Some 38 lawmakers in premier Alexis Tsipras' own Syriza party rebelled against the measures, but support from opposition parties pushed them through.
The European Central Bank (ECB) kept rates on hold. But economists said the focus would be on what president Mario Draghi says on Greece in his press conference later.
The ECB is tipped to sanction an increase in the emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) provided to Greek banks by the central bank of Greece.
But Draghi is likely to be quizzed on various other Greece-related issues, including when the ECB might reinstate its ordinary lending to Greek banks.
He is also set to face questions about whether ECB profits on Greek government bonds will soon be transferred back to Greece and what role the bank might play in a debt restructuring or write-down.
Capital Economics' chief European economist, Jonathan Loynes, said: "We expect Draghi to be distinctly non-committal on such issues and stress the need for the bailout to be finalised and implemented as quickly as possible before any other concessions are made.
"Otherwise, he will no doubt reiterate again the Governing Council’s intention to implement the ECB’s quantitative easing programme in full and perhaps extend it."
