London night bus safety

London night bus safety - Low Angle Photo of People Waiting for the Red Bus to Pass

In a few days, I will be traveling alone from London Heathrow to King's Cross station at about 1am via night bus. I have read a lot of conflicting information on the safety of night buses, and I have begun to alarm myself.

Is lugging a rather large suit case across most of London at 1 in the morning going to be a safety concern (i.e. is it worth shelling out a rather large sum of money for a taxi?), or should I be fine?

Is there anything I should know or avoid doing?
