How long to confidently learn to ride a bike in a city?

I just moved to the UK and I live in a very rainy moderately large city. I've signed up for cycling lessons, but im wondering how to long to expect to be able to ride with confidence? It blows my mind how unfazed people are.
I cant ride a bike at all, and the weather freaks me out. I get a bit panicky thinking about traffic committing home when its raining and dark at 3pm
Any tips, stories?

Is there any areas with parks and shared cycle paths that don't have any traffic at all? You could get your confidence up there first before going on roads.
