I would listen to @andos, you are better off cutting a small amount of of the edge tiles than trying to use a wall as a square edge. The method for cutting tiles at the edges of a floor is pretty simple. Lay the tile you want to cut directly over the top of the tile adjacent to the wall. Put the edge of a spare tile against the wall and on top of the tile to be cut, mark and cut. It's much easier than trying to measure them all.
Only thing I would do is make sure you're not starting at a point where you will need a 15mm sliver of cork tile all along one edge.
You've got a box cutter and metal ruler with a bunch of spare blades right? You might even have a green cutting mat?
Here's a video example of the technique with tiles, same story with cork but easier to cut.

Normally it's handling the glue without getting it all over your trousers/socks/shoes and tile faces that keeps you busy.

Yeah I’ve heard that two but I think that will be tougher to do, and this is my first go at this.
I’m trying to aim for simplest method to reduce errors. The section around the door is going to be hell.
