What do you call that place where you find 'a large bowl attached to a pipe that you sit on or stand over when you get rid of waste matter from your body'?

-The booth I use on my floor in the company is larger than the entire toilet in my house. (BOOTH?)

@WBYeats,
Toilet, lavatory, khasi, bog, shithouse, shitter, loo.

Or if the toilet is enclosed away from the wash basins etc. it's in a cubicle.

The cubicle I use at work is larger than the entire bathroom in my house.

(People don't want particularly large or small toilets unless they're particularly large or small themselves.)

In Britain, this is a 'toilet' or a WC ('water closet'). The room in which is located may also be called a (or the) toilet or lavatory. In the USA they are scared of calling a toilet a toilet so they call it a bathroom even though there may be no bath there.

The space in which the thing is located is a room or in a public lavatory it may be called a cubicle; never a booth, I think.

This is a booth:

In the U.S. the area you go into where you can close the door to have privacy, and where there's a toilet, is called a stall.

Here are 3 bathroom/restroom stalls.

I know a girl who refuses to call it a john...and now calls it a jim.

She often says, "First thing every morning, I go to the jim."
