Little Chester sits on the north bank of the River Derwent, just east of Derby's city centre.

A section of the city's Roman walls remains visible near the Old Chester Road. The area functions as a residential neighbourhood with local shops and pubs, directly bordering the river and its walking paths. The historic Derby Royal Infirmary site has been redeveloped into housing.
