I am putting down a floor in a C shaped corridor. The landing off the top of the
stairs is approximately 1.5m wide and 5m long - the stairs lands roughly in the
middle. There are two corridors running off each end of the landing at 90
degrees, these are also about 4m long and around 1m wide. What do people
think is the best orientation for the boards? Thanks in advance.

If your subfloor is suitably robust - such as 3/4" plywood or the
equivalent, you could either do a herringbone throughout (takes a
_lot_ more time, but the hallway flooring wouldn't seem to have a
directional change), or run the boards the long way and either use a
herringbone (not really the right term here) to make the transition,
or box out the corners and do a design at the hallway transitions.
Any of those could look good, your opinion being the final arbiter,
and time, money and effort will come into play.
