It, with Longstone, is to the south-west, Allan Park and Craiglockhart to the south, Slateford, Hutchison and Moat to the east, and Gorgie Road to the north.

The area is named after John William Chesser, who was elected Lord Provost of Edinburgh in 1919 and died in office in 1921.

The Edinburgh Corn Exchange in Chesser is a venue for live events.

There has been recent regeneration of predominantly early 20th-century housing stock, supplemented with modern development.
