(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was up 0.2% at 8,203.91 in afternoon trade on Wednesday.

Vodafone was higher after saying it had raised €1.7bn through the sale of an 18% interest in Indus Towers in an accelerated bookbuild.

Housebuilder Berkeley slumped despite lifting its earnings outlook for the current financial year by 5% and unveiling plans to enter the London rental market.
