They hope this artist's impression of the drowned man will prompt anyone who knew him to come forward.
In May, 1981 the body was pulled from the water in Southall, west London.
His death was not thought to have been suspicious.
Despite extensive enquiries made in May, 1981 and continued efforts over the past four decades, the man was never identified.
Officers hope that this appeal, which forms part of a cold case review, may prompt someone to think about a family member or friend that they lost touch with forty years ago who looked similar to the artist's impression that was compiled based on how the man looked at the time of his death.
He was a white man, 5ft 11ins tall, of medium build, aged 25 to 30 years old, with thick brown hair worn short, with a slight beard.
He also had crooked teeth and a small scar on his stomach.
PC Maddie Kerketta, of the Met’s West Area Safeguarding Unit, said: “This man was a son to someone, a family member and likely a friend to others.
“There may be a family somewhere who have spent years wondering what happened to their loved one.
“If you can help us finally identify him so that his family and friends can be notified please don’t hesitate to get in touch."
If you have information you think might help identify this man please call police on 101 or Tweet @MetCC quoting 81FOU000002.
