I'm not sure why you are ignoring multipitch routes.

Some routes that might be worth considering.
Pull My Daisy is much better than those slate suggestions.
Plastic Nerve or Falcon (E1 in my book) are of worthy consideration
Savage Sunbird and The Sun at Rhoscolyn are both very good.
Silhouette at Cloggy
Suicide Wall Route 1
Branflake at Holyhead Mountain
Aura at Craig Yr Ysfa
Not done it but I'd have thought Equus was the obvious contender from that crag.
I remember this being good, but not one of the best E2s in the UK?!
Hiddenite at Iron Crag is very good.
Pink Panther at Dow maybe?
Copenhagen at Hardknott Crag
Cayman at the Napes?
Finger Flake Finish to the Rack at Reecastle?
Ted Cheasby - Castle Rock
Through the Looking Glass - Hodge Close

I am aware that some people do not share my love of this route, but, having done it about twenty five times: hands full of chunky, clean rough sandstone, steep enough to swing around on, bomber gear, a bit of technicality for the feet, best setting in the world; life does not get any better at E2 for me.

Yes, there are lots of even better E3's. No better E2's though!
The sort of route that is easy if you are fit enough and desperate if you are not.

You've not got anything in North Pembroke and I can think of 3 good E2s - Orogeny at Caefai, Starling by the Seaside and Stingray at Barcud.
The problem is that they are good, not great.

I like this kind of thing.
Looking down your list there obviously aren't enough in Scotland. Totally with you on Sheigra, maybe Reiff does need a mention but not with that indifferent HVS crack The Executioner. There was a great, big, very steep juggy E2 I followed up - Cyclops maybe? up at the north end that was really superb.
For Peak grit, Elegy, Five Finger, Regent Street should do it, plus Darius for the lime. The thing about Peak limestone is that the very best routes are so so poor compared to your average Pembroke route and as such one is plenty enough. I will never understand what's supposed to be so amazing about Scoop Wall.
For Yorkshire grit, Earl Buttress and Pillar Front are totally ace. Guess Wombat should go on for Yorks lime (not done it)?
Talking of Pembroke, great choices! But Deep Space (I did it in a one-er) is way better than Beast from the Undergrowth, and Be Clever (should be E2, hopefully is in the new guides) should make it on.
For the Lakes, with you on Bloodhound. Fastburn and Pink Panther have both had a mention - couple of the best E2 pitches anywhere. There must be loads more, but I guess many of the Lakes classics are multipitch. Equus is much better than Springbank as has been said.

You are wrong except in that Reiff should get a mention, though E2 is not Reiff's strongest grade.
Apart from Westering Home, Cyclops is the most overrated route at Reiff. It wouldn't even get three stars at Stanage. Nondescript climbing and some of the less solid seeming rock.

Don't forget the Moors! What about Ali Baba at Wainstones, this may be one of my favourite sandstone single pitch climbs
I'is always interesting to see how people's personal experiences on routes influence these things - I remember being distinctly underwhelmed by the pillar at Diabeg although I remember looking up at it and thinking - this is right up my street I should love this. Also the Execution would get HVS on grit!

Grit grades being very non-mainstream/idiosyncratic and grit HVS being about the most notorious sandbag grade out there....... Having said that, I wouldn't argue with E1 for the Executioner.

Bloodlust Direct is the worst route on the main wall at Sheigra - a direct finish to much better routes where the crux is fiddling in gear. It wouldn't be in a Top 100 E2s in Scotland let alone the UK.
Executioner is probably the best of a surprisingly poor show at E2 at Reiff but is is neither good enough nor E2 enough.
Buena Vista is an essential part of the trio of steady slabby E2s around Wester Ross along with The Bug and The Pillar
The Hill Direct is truly excellent.
Jump So High Direct is hard for E3 and not as good. Wet Dreams is a better second choice at Creag Dubh.
Space Monkey, Plague of Blazes, Wall St, Wish you were Here and Edge of Beyond should definitely be on the list.
Anger And Lust is good but maybe not quite special enough.
Further additions could include:
Diode @ Glen Nevis - only 20m, but 20m of thin slab perfection.
Afterglow @ Rosehearty - a fine introduction to typical Scottish thuggyness.
Bat's Belfry and Pterodactyl @ Earnsheugh - epic single pitches, as good as Gogarth routes.
Vulture Squadron @ Grey Mare Slabs - as action packed and varied as a single pitch can get.
Warfarin @ Dunkeld - again an epic single pitch, varied, steep, thrilling etc.
Wally 1 @ Ratho - yes, it's a 15m route in a grotty quarry....I dare you to find a route more continously challenging in this style.
Brave New World @ Diabeg - amazing line, amazing climb, in an amazing situation.
Bogie @ Diabeg - would be the route of the crag on any other cliff.
Rough Justice @ Diabeg - or maybe this would?
Bold As Brass @ Stone Valley - a technical and intricate voyage on perfect rock.
Okay throw in some stuff from Caithness, Yesnaby and Ardnamurchan, I'm bored of writing lists now sorry.

I've only second it, but I thought it was the most exciting line on the wall; a good hearty run-out up the steepest bit, finishing on big jugs and big gear just when it's all getting a bit much...what's not to like? Geriatrics is better though, more scenic.
Elastic Collision is pretty good E1/2 (but hardly one for a UK list)!
I found it incredibly frustrating trying to find the line (since it doesn't have one). In fact, I spent about an hour doing circuits around the middle of that stinking crag while people shouted contradictory instructions from different books about where I was supposed to go, and it just didn't seem to make any difference - I don't know whether I did some combo of that and the E3 or what. Dreadful.
Will have to find these on my next visit, never heard of.
E3? Didn't do at as hadn't done E3 before and the name put me off!

Yes but your opinion on North West Scottish sea-cliff climbs and their grades is complete arse. No offense or anything
Bold As Brass is pretty high in the grade yes.
The Hill Direct, climb The Hill to the big juggy niche and first bomber gear. Traverse down and left to the next big juggy niche. Climb up past this for about 8m until you can step left into the easier ground and finish direct, HTH.
