Answer
First it would depend on the format in which your trying to reproduce, film or digital media. There are professional models that are going to be far superior to consumer models, Many people still feel fiim still looks better then digital and I would still have to agree. The Imax digital is the only thing that challenges the very best in film. I would probably guess that the Imax model projectors are among some of the best.
For consumer models your going to get a wide range of opinions on which is the best. I have installed and calibrated some of the very finests and all of them have different aspect that each one excels at. Some experts still agree that CRT projectors properly calibrated offer a more realistic picture, more film like. For consumer models Ampro, Barco, Vidikron, Runco and Sony were considered by many the best in CRT projectors.
Of course CRT projectors are not convenient and often fall out of calibration, so the DLP, LCD became more practical for consumers and needed only a one time calibration.
For todays home theaters most specialist are using, Runco, Vidikron, JVC, and Sony. For myself I would also put Barco on that list. There are a number of smaller brand projectors out there that I have no experience in that might also be highly considered.
For a high quality consumer setup I would probably recommend to go with one of the SC Runco projectors with the anamorphic lense, setup on a Stewart 2:35 aspect ratio film screen.

What is the best HD projector on the market?
Bobsy
Looking to spend no more than £800 ($1600) and is needed to cover a very large wall and still look sharp.
Answer
If you mean 1080p, prices are still beyond your limit (The cheapest is about $2600 US).
But if you mean 720p, there are a number of good models in the $1000 - $1500 range (although $2000-$2500 offers a few even better).
BTW, I'm not very familiar with UK prices, but my suspicion is they are a bit higher than in North America ... so you may have to adjust accordingly.
That all said, you can expect to be able to display a pretty sharp image (from a viewing distance of 2X screen width) on a 90"-120" (diagonal screen).
Note that screens can cost as much or more than your projector budget so you should plan to make your own for less than $100 (See AVS forum's DIY screen section (first link). Either paint a wall with a very light grey paint or use "blackout cloth" (white, slightly stretchy curtain liner) on a wood frame).
In terms of models, have a look at the highly rated models at projector central (see link) and find one available in the UK. For a start have a look at the Optoma HD70 (3rd link).
You can do what you want within your stated budget ... but you will have to make a few compromises and therefore you need to educate yourself before making a buying decision. So read as much as you can on projectors (there's lots of useful info on Projector Central and projector reviews (last link)).
