The U.K.'s FTSE 100 was up 0.8 percent after finishing marginally higher on Thursday.

In corporate news, education company Pearson fell 2.7 percent after underlying group sales rose 1 percent in the first quarter.

Similarly, energy giant Shell rallied 3.3 percent on share buyback news.

Denmark's Danske Bank jumped 3.6 percent after reporting forecast-beating first-quarter profits.
