I am laying the same glueless laminate flooring in adjacent rooms, I
understand that I need to use an expansion strip in the doorways.

In the first room I started in the opposite corner of the room working
towards the door.

When I start on the next room should I continue from the doorway (i.e.
continuing working in the same direction) or start on the opposite side
from the door again where the longest straight wall is and work towards
the door again ? (so that the flooring is laid in both rooms working
towards the common door ?

Hope that makes some sense !

Frosty

P.S. Also, how important are the expansion strips, should I put one in
the doorway of the built in larder too if I'm laying flooring in there
too ?

If the floor has obvious joins (i.e. some laminates have a tongue and
groove style groove) then you might want to make sure these match up on
either side of the expansion strip so it looks like a continuous floor
and flows nicer
