The Local Bubble (LB), a volume of roughly 100 pc radius filled with ionized gas of high temperature and low density, is not a unique object. It is obviously surrounded by several interstellar bubbles of similar properties. Some of them are as close as to undergo interaction with the LB. Our most prominent neighbour is the Loop I superbubble formed by the Sco-Cen OB association. It is shown that this huge shell is in collision with our Local Bubble. The product of this interaction is an annular cloud of dense neutral gas at the boundary between the two bubbles. Other examples for close neighbouring bubbles are the Gum nebula, the Eridanus bubble and possibly the two radio loops II and III.
