Booth purchased William Holman Hunt's painting The Light of The World, which he donated to St Paul's Cathedral in 1908.

Early in 1912 Booth stood down as chairman of Alfred Booth and Company in favour of his nephew Alfred Allen Booth, but in 1915 returned willingly to work under wartime exigencies despite growing evidence of heart disease.

In later life, Booth retired to Grace Dieu Manor near Thringstone, Leicestershire.
He died on 23 November 1916 and was buried in Saint Andrew's churchyard.
A memorial dedicated to him stands on Thringstone village green, and a blue plaque has been erected on his house in South Kensington: 6 Grenville Place.
